Tour Scotland Autumn Video Swilcan Bridge St Andrews
Tour Scotland Autumn travel video of the Swilcan Bridge or Swilken Bridge, or Swilcanth as it was known, a small stone bridge which spans the Swilcan Burn between the first and eighteenth fairways on the Old Course on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to St Andrews, Fife. This is a famous small stone bridge which has itself become an important cultural icon in the sport of golf. The bridge had previously been known as the Golfers’ Bridge, and had been known as this for hundreds of years. The bridge itself is extremely small; at its farthest extent it measures about 30 feet long, eight feet wide and six feet tall, in the style of a simple Roman arch. Originally built at least 700 years ago to help shepherds get livestock across. On the second floor of the World Golf Hall of Fame museum in St. Augustine, Florida, America, there is a life-size stone replica of the Swilcan Bridge.

Tour Scotland Video McCorquodale Stained Glass Windows St Conan's Kirk
Tour Scotland travel video of the McCorquodale stained glass windows in St Fillan's Aisle on visit to St Conan's Kirk by Loch Awe, Argyll, Scotland. This window was erected in memory of a friend of the Blythswood family. Unlike any of the other stained-glass windows, this was included in the other and smaller building. It was originally installed on the opposite side of the church, but the background of hillside and trees did not do full justice to the stained glass, and so, when the larger scheme was put in hand, the opportunity was taken to move it so that it should overlook the loch. The window consists of three lights. The first shows the Warrior, who has put on the whole Armour of God and bears the Shield of Faith. His faith is so strong that he does not even look at the fiery darts coming up through brambles and smoke. The opposite light shows the Sword of the Spirit piercing evil creatures; while the centre light, " I have finished my course, " depicts angels taking from the Warrior's head the Helmet of Salvation and showing the weeds and smoke at his feet turning to roses.
