Tour Scotland Photograph Beech Hedge Meikleour March 21st

Tour Scotland photograph shot today of the Beech Hedge at Meikleour, Perthshire, Scotland. The Meikleour Beech Hedge is located beside the A93 Perth to Blairgowrie Road. It was planted in the autumn of 1745 by Jean Mercer and her husband, Robert Murray Nairne on the Marquess of Lansdowne's Meikleour estate. It is said the hedge grows towards the heavens because the men who planted it were killed at the Battle of Culloden. The hedge is noted in the Guinness World Records as the tallest and longest hedge on earth, reaching 100 feet in height and 1/3 of a mile in length. The hedge is trimmed once every ten years but remains viewable to visitors all year round.

Tour Scotland photograph of Balcomie Castle by Crail, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. A beautiful March afternoon near Balcomie Castle which is Fife's most easterly castle. Perhaps its most famous brush with history took place on the 12th of June 1538 when Mary of Guise landed at nearby Fife Ness. She decided to stay at the castle while couriers were sent to James V who was 10 miles up the road in St Andrews. He didn't hang about and promptly arrived at Balcomie to collect his future bride and escort her into St Andrews.

Tour Scotland Photographs Cellardyke March 19th

Tour Scotland photograph of Cellardyke, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Cellardyke, where I was raised in Scotland, was once called "Silverdyke." The name Silverdyke was given to the fishing village by the Dutch traders who used to visit these shores after crossing the North Sea. They saw the walls or "dykes" covered with the drying herring which had been caught by local fisherman. The herring were glinting in the sun which made the walls look silver - hence the name. The Scottish word for silver is "Siller" and mapmakers who heard the local name Sillerdyke spoken spelt it as Cellardyke. The village is often called East Anstruther as the two villages are adjacent to each other, but Cellardyke is the correct name. The village is located just 10 miles from St Andrews.
