Tour Scotland Video Golfers 18th Green Old Golf Course St Andrews Fife

Tour Scotland video of female golfers putting on the 18th green of the Old Golf Course on rainy visit to 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 King James II of Scotland banned golf because he felt that young men were playing too much golf instead of practising 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.

Tour Scotland Video Summer Drive On B939 Road From Ceres To St Andrews Fife

Tour Scotland video of a Summer afternoon drive East from Ceres on the B939 road on ancestry visit to St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The road crosses the Ceres Burn twice to reach Pitscottie, where it is crossed by the B940 road. The road now climbs out of the valley to cross a ridge and descend into another valley. This section of road is remarkably straight and so passes to the South of Strathkinness rather than detouring north to pass through the village. Eventually the road reaches the suburbs of St Andrews. It runs along Buchanan Gardens and reaches a mini roundabout in the centre of town where we then travel through the West Port and along South Street.
