Winter Road Trip Drive With Bagpipes Music On History Visit To St Andrews Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video of a Winter road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to St Andrews, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The cathedral was built in 1158 and became the centre of the Medieval Catholic Church in Scotland as the seat of the Archdiocese of St Andrews and the Bishops and Archbishops of St Andrews. It fell into disuse and ruin after Catholic mass was outlawed during the 16th century. In 1160, it was the most important centre of pilgrimage in medieval Scotland and one of the most important in Europe. Pilgrims from all over Scotland came in large numbers hoping to be blessed, and in many cases to be cured, at the shrine of Saint Andrew. The name St Andrews derives from the town's claim to be the resting place of bones of the apostle Andrew. According to legend, St Regulus, or St Rule, brought the relics to Kilrymont, where a shrine was established for their safekeeping and veneration while Kilrymont was renamed in honour of the saint. This is the origin of a third name for the town Kilrule. The establishment of the present town began around 1140 by Bishop Robert possibly on the site of the ruined St Andrews Castle.

The area was part of the Cromarty estates from the 17th century and has connections to various clans and families. Lochbroom saw significant impacts during World War II, with the conscription of men, including fishermen, and the cessation of fishing as a reserved occupation.
