Tour Scotland Travel Video Winter Road Trip To Scottish Fisheries Museum Anstruther East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland Sunny Winter travel video of a road trip to the Scottish Fisheries Museum on ancestry visit to the harbour in Anstruther, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Opened in 1969, the museum is situated on the harbour front in Anstruther, in the heart of the East Neuk crab and lobster fishing villages of St Monans, Pittenweem, Cellardyke and Crail. It has grown over time into a sizable complex, occupying a number of converted buildings set around three sides of a cobbled courtyard.

Tour Scotland Travel Video Blue Supermoon Above My Cottage Scone Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of the blue supermoon on January 31, 2018 above my cottage in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a New moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth. The association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but this effect is very slight.

Tour Scotland Winter Travel Video Coastal Path Pittenweem East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland sunny Winter travel video of the tide coming in by the coastal walking path on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and small group trip 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. The Fife Coastal Path runs from the Forth Estuary in the south, to the Tay Estuary in the north and stretches for 117 miles. This is the area where I was raised in Scotland.
