Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video, with Scottish accordion music, of a dreich, which is a Scots word for dull and cloudy weather, road trip drive, South from Perthshire, on the M90 motorway on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Dunfermline in West Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The earliest known settlements in the area around Dunfermline, Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Phàrlain, probably date as far back as the Neolithic period. The area was not regionally significant until at least the Bronze Age. The town was first recorded in the 11th century, with the marriage of King Malcolm III, King of Scots, and Saint Margaret at the church in Dunfermline. Dunfermline's most famous son is the entrepreneur and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie who was born in the town in 1835. Among the gifts he gave to his home town, include a free library and public swimming baths. Most important of all, was the donation of the Pittencrieff Estate which he had purchased in 1903 to be converted into Pittencrieff Park. In 1888, two Dunfermline men, John Reid and Robert Lockhart, first demonstrated golf in the USA by setting up a hole in an orchard, before Reid set up America's first golf club the same year, St. Andrews Golf Club in Yonkers, New York, with Andrew Carnegie one of the first members. The surname Carnegie was first found in Angus, Gaelic: Aonghas, part of the Tayside region of north eastern Scotland, and present day Council Area of Angus, formerly known as Forfar or Forfarshire, where the was recorded as a family of great antiquity seated at Carnegie in the parish of Carmyllis in that shire. Confirmation of the grant of lands of Cairynegy was made by King David of Scotland in 1358 to then Chief of the Clan John Carnegie. He was descended from Jocelyn of Balinhard who was the progenitor of the family. Carnegie has been written Carnegie, Carnechie, Carnegey, Carnagie, Carnagee and many more. David Carnegie landed in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1749; William Carnegie arrived in Pennsylvania, America, in 1848; John de la Coudamine Carnegie, was a Scottish settler who travelled from Greenock, Glasgow, aboard the ship Philip Laing arriving in Otago, South Island, New Zealand on 15th April 1848. If you are about to drive on the motorway for the first time, you might be feeling a little daunted. But contrary to many people’s beliefs, motorways are actually the safest roads to drive on. It’s the speed you’re travelling at which can make all the difference between safe and unsafe motorway driving. The speed limit for cars on the motorway is 70mph but motorway speed limits can change several times on one stretch of road, particularly in the event of roadworks or an accident. So be observant and look out for signs indicating speed limit changes and warning signs, used in the event of adverse weather, congestion or accidents. You should only overtake if you’re sure it’s safe to do so. It’s crucial to judge the speed of the cars around you carefully and to check that the lane you’ll be moving into is clear in front and behind you. Don’t forget to check your blind spot and to signal in plenty of time. When you leave a motorway, observe the interchange signs and ensure you’re in the correct lane in plenty of time. The countdown markers which appear before a motorway exit tell you how far away the exit is, with each bar representing 100 yards. If you hog lanes or tailgate on the motorway you could be faced with an on the spot fine of £100 and 3 points on your driving licence. On approaching a roundabout take notice and act on all the information available to you, including traffic signs, traffic lights and lane markings which direct you into the correct lane. Decide as early as possible which exit you need to take. Give priority to traffic approaching from your right, unless directed otherwise by signs, road markings or traffic lights. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February.
