Tour Scotland Video Jougs At The Entrance To Parish Graveyard Abernethy Perthshire
Tour Scotland travel video of Jougs at the entrance to the Parish graveyard on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Abernethy, Perthshire. The jougs was an instrument of punishment formerly used in Scotland. It was an iron collar fastened by a short chain to a wall, often of the parish church, or to a tree or to a mercat cross. The collar was placed round the offender's neck and fastened by a padlock. Time spent in the jougs was intended to shame an offender publicly. Jougs were used for ecclesiastical as well as civil offences. Examples could still be seen in Scotland at the beginning of the 20th century. It may have lent its name to the modern "jug", slang for prison.

Tour Scotland Video Drive Crail To St Andrews Fife
Tour Scotland travel video of a road trip drive North on the A917 road along the coast from Crail on ancestry visit to St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. From Crail the road turns sharply left to cut off the corner of Fife Ness, there's only one road there which meets us on this bend. We now head North through Kingsbarns (good golf course), where we approach the coast once more, and Boarhills where the road turns sharply left. This is now the route of the former A918. Then the road goes into St Andrews along St Mary Street, Abbey Walk and Abbey Street to reach a mini-roundabout on the A918 South Street.
