Tour Scotland Video Spring Drive To Pittenweem East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland travel video of a Spring road trip drive from St Monans on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Pittenweem, East Neuk of Fife. 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 Video Spring Drive From Perth To Scone Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of a Spring drive over Smeaton's Bridge from Perth to Scone Perthshire, Scotland. The medieval village of Scone, which grew up around the monastery and royal residence, was abandoned in the early 19th century when the residents were removed. The new village was built in 1805 as a planned village and was originally called New Scone, but is now officially called Scone. Smeaton's Bridge was completed in October 1771, which places it in the Georgian era; however, its plaque states the year in which construction began, 1766, as its " built " date. The engineer of its construction was John Smeaton, after whom the bridge is named.
