Tour Scotland Video May Drive To The Bluebell Woods Kinclaven Perthshire

Tour Scotland sunny Spring May travel video of a road trip drive from Murthly on ancestry, history visit to the bluebell woods by Kinclaven, Perthshire. There are two different types of bluebells in Scotland, the deep violet native flower and the paler Spanish bluebells, which can also be white or pink. Bluebells are a protected native flower, and have been covering the woodlands of Scotland for centuries. This means that it is more than okay to enjoy the scenery but take pictures, not the flowers. Here are some of the best bluebell woods in Scotland to take in the beautiful blooms: Glen Finglas, Cumbernauld Glen, Fairy Glen by Fortrose in the Highlands, Culzean Castle Country Park, Blamacaan Wood by Inverness, Carron Glen, Dalkeith Estate, Kinclaven, Loch of the Lowes, House of Dun, Keil’s Den by Leven, Fife, Aldouran Glen, Brodick Castle, Pepper Wood Kirkliston, Edinburgh, Cathkin Braes Country Park, Binn Wood by Perth, Baron’s Haugh by Motherwell, Corsehillmuir Wood.

Tour Scotland Video Drive To Pittenweem East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland video of a sunny road trip drive from the harbour in St Monans, East along the A917 road to the viewpoint on ancestry visit to Pittenweem, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. 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. A new breakwater further to the east was developed over the years into a deep, safe harbour with a covered fish market. As the herring disappeared from local waters and the fishing fleet shrank, this harbour and its attendant facilities became the main harbour for the fishermen of the East Neuk of Fife.

Situated approximately 3 miles west of Anstruther, this small community, whose inhabitants formerly made their living mainly from fishing, is now a tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Walking Path. Like other small East Neuk towns, St Monans is rich in vernacular fisher and merchant houses of the 17th to early 19th centuries, with characteristic old Scots features, e.g. forestairs, crow-stepped gables, datestones, pantiled roofs.
