Pittenweem is a fishing village and civil parish in Fife, on the east coast of Scotland. At the 2001 census, it had a population of 1,747. The name derives from Pictish and Scottish Gaelic. Pit- represents Pictish pett 'place, portion of land', and -enweem is Gaelic na h-Uaimh, 'of the Caves' in Gaelic, so The Place of the Caves. The name is rendered Baile na h-Uaimh in modern Gaelic, with baile, 'town, settlement', substituted for the Pictish prefix. The cave in question is almost certainly St Fillan's cave, although there are many indentations along the rocky shores that could have influenced the name.

2. St. Fillan's Cave Pittenweem
Saint Fillan was a Scottish Benedictine monk from the Isle of May Priory, founded in 1153 by King David I of Scotland. Fillan left the Isle of May for Pittenweem in Fife and converted the local populace to Christianity. The priory on May subsequently founded a priory there, which by 1318 had replaced the founding priory and which had been given to the canons regular of the cathedral priory in St. Andrews. He is supposed to have lived in what is now called St Fillan's Cave, situated in Cove Wynd, Pittenweem, which is open to the public. The cave was rediscovered about 1900 when a horse ploughing in the Priory garden fell down a hole into it. The cave has flat rocks that are presumed to have been used as beds and a small spring of holy water at its rear. It was rededicated as a place of wors...

5. Bamburgh Castle Bamburgh
Bamburgh Castle is a castle on the northeast coast of England, by the village of Bamburgh in Northumberland. It is a Grade I listed building.The site was originally the location of a Celtic Brittonic fort known as Din Guarie and may have been the capital of the kingdom of Bernicia from its foundation in c. 420 to 547. After passing between the Britons and the Anglo-Saxons three times, the fort came under Anglo-Saxon control in 590. The fort was destroyed by Vikings in 993, and the Normans later built a new castle on the site, which forms the core of the present one. After a revolt in 1095 supported by the castle's owner, it became the property of the English monarch. In the 17th century, financial difficulties led to the castle deteriorating, but it was restored by various owners during th...

Fife's coast - Trip to Scotland

#TriptoScotland #FebProductions
Da Dunfermline ripartiamo e proseguiamo lungo la costa sino ad arrivare a Dundee per la notte.
Durante il percorso, visitiamo pittoreschi villaggi di pescatori e una costa davvero affascinante.
Aberdou ha bellissime spiagge argentate e un castello del XIII secolo. È un villaggio storico, di circa 1.700 abitanti
Kirkcaldy è attualmente la più grande città della regione del Fife. Ha una popolazione di 47.000 abitanti
Elie costituisce, attualmente, una destinazione turistica rilevante, frequentata dalle famiglie dalla vicina Edimburgo che ne apprezzano l'aria tonificante
Saint Monans è un piccolo e pittoresco villaggio, una volta prevalentemente dedito alla pesca, attualmente attrazione turistica della zona
Pittenweem è un piccolo e isolato villaggio di pescatori posto in un angolo del Fife, sulla costa orientale della Scozia
Nella città di St. Andrews troviamo la cattedrale risalente all'VIII secolo. È una famosa cattedrale storica, ai suoi tempi la più grande, ora giace in rovina. L'insediamento è cresciuto a ovest della cattedrale e divenne ben presto la capitale ecclesiastica della Scozia, una posizione che mantenne fino alla Riforma scozzese.

May Drive To Pittenweem East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland video of a sunny May drive from the harbour in St Monans the East along the A917 road the viewpoint on ancestry visit to Pittenweem, East Neuk of Fife. Founded as a fishing village around a probably early Christian religious settlement, it grew along the shoreline from the west where the sheltered beaches were safe places for fishermen to draw their boats up out of the water. Later a breakwater was built, extending out from one of the rocky skerries that jut out south-west into the Firth of Forth like fingers. This allowed boats to rest at anchor rather than being beached, enabling larger vessels to use the port. A new breakwater further to the east was developed over the years into a deep, safe harbour with a covered fish market. As the herring disappeared from local waters and the fishing fleet shrank, this harbour and its attendant facilities became the main harbour for the fishermen of the East Neuk of Fife.

GREYFRIARS (Kirkyard / Graveyard) Our Haunted Scotland Project

This video represents a group of friends who take on the role as amateur paranormal investigators and urban explorers as they carry out a video blog investigation of, in this case, Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh, (Scotland). (Some events may be very funny, some are unexplained, however, what is seen on camera genuinely happened and isn't faked!) Thanks for watching!

This project is created for the interest of the general public in regards to the areas we explore as we indulge in our hobby of the paranormal, video production and exploration.

Our videos are what they are. The subject matter, music used, duration etc are all as we more or less like it. If anything isn't to your taste, please try another channel and don't give anyone a hard time. If you do like our videos however, great!... and subscribe for future uploads.

PLEASE NOTE: Our videos represent 'our personal' experience at the locations visited and do not state that others visiting the same location will share a similar impression. We also wish to point out that our 'approach' is not the most scientific and professional means of investigating the paranormal. Each to their own. We have entered at our own risk! Civil trespass, also known as simple trespass, is not a criminal offence in the U.K., particularly in Scotland. Should you be asked to leave, do so in a civil manner and never damage any building or property in order to gain access. Police will get involved if there's a possibility that a criminal offense has been committed such as refusal to leave, fire or theft etc. We are of course not responsible for those who, after watching any of our videos, get into bother by visiting any of the places we've been to.
