Tour Scotland Video Wood Carvings Holy Trinity Church St Andrews Fife
Tour Scotland travel video of wood carvings on visit and trip to Holy Trinity Church in St Andrews, Fife. The east gable of the church has carved angels and a large, traceried window based upon one in Carlisle Cathedral in England. Holy Trinity Church was built in South Street, on a site central to the developing burgh, not far from the market place and the town house. It incorporates the tower and other remains of the church begun in 1411 by Bishop Wardlaw and subsequently re-built by Robert Balfour in 1798. The 1799 church was demolished in 1906 in order to rebuild, to the style of a late medieval burgh church by the architect P. MacGregor Chalmers.

Tour Scotland Summer Video Golfers Old Course St Andrews Fife
Tour Scotland Summer 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.
