Spring Road Trip Drive With Bagpipes Music On History Visit To Strathmiglo Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, on a single track road on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Strathmiglo. Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The village is the roots of American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor, Johnny Cash. William Cash, from Strathmiglo, was a mariner who ferried Scottish immigrants to the New World. After a few trips, he decided to stay in the USA himself, and settled in Salem, Massachusetts. On one trip, he brought his nephew with him, also from Strathmiglo, and that nephew decided to stay as well. This was in the 1650s. The elder William Cash stayed in Salem, and became a prominent citizen, serving on a jury for a murder trial. The records for this trial, and William's last will and testament, still remain in the Salem town hall. The younger William Cash moved south, to Westmoreland County, Virginia and his descendants spread through Virginia, Georgia and Arkansas. The grandfather of Johnny cash, William Cash, settled in Arkansas. His youngest son, Ray Cash was born in 1897. The father of Johnny Cash was born in Kingsland, Arkansas. The surname Cash is derived from the Old French word casse, which means case. Thus, Cash is a metonymic type of occupational surname; it is derived from the principal object associated with the occupation, which in this case was the product produced. Over the years, many variations of the name Cash were recorded, including Cash, Cass, Cashe and others. Catherine Cash, aged 24, a farm servant, arrived in South Australia in 1855 aboard the ship Nashwauk; Arthur Cash arrived in Auckland, New Zealand aboard the ship Claramont in 1863; Martin Cash, aged 32, a farm labourer, arrived in Wellington, New Zealand aboard the ship Halcione in 1875; Michael Cash, aged 26, a tilemaker, arrived in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, in 1834 aboard the brig Matilda; William Cash settled in Salem, Massachusetts, America, in 1667, married and had William and John and five daughters; Richard Cash landed in Maryland, America, in 1676.

They arrived in England from North America and are now one of Britain's most well known and frequently seen mammals, with an estimated population of 2 million.

Tour Scotland short 4K Spring Monday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a beautiful, sociable, black and white Magpie Bird spotted eating on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The magpie bird is one of our most familiar birds and the source of much myth and legend: '" one for sorrow, two for a joy "is a rhyme that many children learn. Magpies are, in fact, small crows, and are omnivorous, feeding on carrion, invertebrates, and chicks and eggs. They are sociable birds and are often seen in small groups across many habitats, from gardens to parks, and heaths to hedges. The magpie is an unmistakeable long tailed bird. It is mainly black, with a white belly and white patches on the shoulders and wings. Folklore surrounds the magpie: from providing good luck when greeted, to being in league with the Devil, its ubiquitous presence has provided plenty of opportunities for stories. Many surround religion, including the belief that it didn't mourn with all the other birds at Christ's crucifixion, and that it refused to enter Noah's Ark, preferring to stay on the roof and swear for the whole journey.

The starling can be found throughout lowland Scotland where there is cultivation and pasture. It is generally absent in highlands and in areas dominated by grass or heather moorland. Highest densities are found along the East coast, Central lowlands and Dumfries and Galloway.
