Tour Scotland April Video Daffodils Viewpoint Pittenweem East Neuk Of Fife
Tour Scotland April, Spring travel video of daffodils at a viewpoint on ancestry, genealogy, history, visit and trip above Pittenweem, East Neuk of Fife. Scotland. Very sunny and quite windy this morning. Until 1975 Pittenweem was a royal burgh, having been awarded the status by King James V in 1541. Founded as a fishing village around a probably early Christian religious settlement, it grew along the shoreline from the west where the sheltered beaches were safe places for fishermen to draw their boats up out of the water. Later a breakwater was built, extending out from one of the rocky skerries that jut out south west into the Firth of Forth like fingers. This allowed boats to rest at anchor rather than being beached, enabling larger vessels to use the port.

Tour Scotland April Video Golfers 18th Green Old Golf Course St Andrews Fife
Tour Scotland April video of golfers on the 18th green of the Old Golf Course in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The Old Course at St Andrews is considered by many to be the " home of golf " because the sport was first played on the Links at St Andrews in the early 1400s. Members played on what would become the Old Course, but because it was the only course St Andrews had, it was not yet known as the Old Course. Golf was becoming increasingly popular in Scotland until in 1457, when James II of Scotland banned golf because he felt that young men were playing too much golf instead of practicing their archery. The ban was held by the following kings of Scotland until 1502, when King James IV became a golfer himself and decided to remove the ban on golf.
