Autumn Road Trip Drive With Bagpipes Music From Fife On History Visit To Dundee Tayside Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video of an afternoon road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, North on A914 route from Fife, then over the Tay Road Bridge on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Dundee, Tayside, Britain, United Kingdom. The A91 road starts outside St Andrews, the A919 road road starts off in Guardbridge and heads north towards Leuchars. The A914 road heads North to the A92 road and across the Tay Road Bridge to Dundee. The Tay Road bridge which spans the Firth of Tay from Newport on Tay in Fife to Dundee was designed by William Fairhurst and construction began in March 1963 with the infilling of West Graving Dock, King William Dock and Earl Grey docks in Dundee. The construction was undertaken by Duncan Logan Construction Limited. Controversially, construction required the demolition of Dundee's Royal Arch where Queen Victoria had entered the city on a royal visit. Rubble from the Victoria arch was used as foundations for the on-ramp. The completed bridge was officially opened by the Queen Mother on 18 August 1966. The name " Dundee " is made up of two parts: the common Celtic place name element dun, meaning fort; and a second part that may derive from a Celtic element, cognate with the Gaelic dè, meaning fire. Over the years, the name Dundee has been spelled Dunde, Dundee and others.

Autumn Road Trip Drive With Bagpipes Music On History Visit To Lundin Links Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a sunny afternoon road trip drive East on the A915 route from Leven on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to to Lundin Links in the East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Lundin Links largely developed as a 19th Century suburban extension of Lower Largo accommodating holiday makers, but takes its name from the Lundin family who were granted land here in the 12th century. The surname Lundin seems to have originated in the 11th century as de Londoniis or de Londres. This then quickly became de Lundin and de Lundyn. By the 14th century Lundy is used interchangeably with Lundin and Lundie. The name of Lundie comes from the Gaelic Leann dhe, which means Gods meadow. The first mention I can find of Lundie is in 1130 AD, which is with respect to the battle of Inchbare. Two days before the battle, on the 14th of April, the forces of the Earl of Fife were mustered at Forfar. The first contact between forces of the Earl of Dunbar and the Earl of Fergus occurred at sliabh na Leann dhe, Hill of God's meadow, now Lundie Hill. The forces of King David I of Scotland, born 1124 died 1153, won the battle. One can find a number of places across Scotland bearing the name of Lundin or Lundie. In 1160, King Malcolm IV of Scotland granted the barony of Lundie in Forfar to Malcolm de Lundin. This barony contains the fore mentioned Lundie Hill. He granted the barony of Lundin in the parish of Largo in Fife to Malcolm’s brother Philip. Not much is known about Phillip de Lundin. He has sometimes been referred to as Phillip the Chamberlain. He had a son Walter, who in turn is believed to have had a son Thomas. It is reported that this line of the family ended in and heiress. She married Robert, the son of King William the Lion. Robert took on the name of this family and it is from him that the family of Lundie or Lundin descend. The barony remained in this family until the end of the 18th century.
