Summer Road Trip Drive With Music To John Street On History Visit Cellardyke Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video, with Scottish music of a road trip drive to John Street on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Cellardyke, on the coast of the East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The street was named after Provost John Martin. Cellardyke is where I was raised in Scotland. The road was part of the Scottish turnpike system, allowing for the transportation of goods and fishermen. A historical record from 1867 indicates that a carter was fined for violating the Turnpike Act by allowing his horse to graze on the side of the turnpike road leading from Anstruther to Cellardyke. Originally known as Main Street, it became a central axis for the village's growth during the 19th century as new housing, schools, and churches were established nearby. Historically, the road was part of a major walking route for " Dykers " as residents were known, as they " wended their way " from the town to the old village of Kilrenny for worship before the local church was built. I was raised in this old fishing village on the East coast and attended Cellardyke Primary School and Waid Academy in Anstruther. I was raised a Dyker.

Loch an Sticir, located near Newtonferry on North Uist in the Outer Hebrides, is the site of a unique ancient fortress known as Dùn an Sticir. Its history spans over 2,000 years, featuring a late Iron Age broch that was later converted into a medieval stronghold. The original broch was built on a small, strategic islet. It was a circular galleried drystone fort with thick walls and a single entrance. It likely served as a high status dwelling and a symbol of power. During the High Middle Ages and the Lordship of the Isles, the ancient broch was converted into a small tower house and rectangular hall. A fascinating feature of Dùn an Sticir is its accessibility. The fortress is connected to the shore by a system of man-made and natural causeways stretching across two intervening islands. These were cleverly designed so that they could be slippery, submerged, or even incorporate "rocking stones" at high tide to warn inhabitants of approaching visitors.

The Robin bird is a familiar visitor to my garden. There are tales stretching back to Norse mythology where the robin is the protector from storms and lightning. And in Celtic folklore the robin is known as the Oak King of Summer. The well known phrase, " When robins appear, loved ones are near ", alludes to the belief that the robin is a messenger. When robins are seen, some people take comfort that loved ones are at peace, and many believe that their lost loved ones are visiting them. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing
