    An absolutely lovely film with fantastic aerial footage. What a great showcase for Fife.

    My grandfather was born there, he died in Quebec Canada in 1968. Really don't know anything about him, so this is nice to see....thank you.

    I was born and brought up in Fife and still stay in my home town but have never heard anyone speak gaelic. It would be lovely if we did. Great video and you showed a part where I stay.

    Tracing back I found several ancestors in both lines that were born in Fife. Interesting

    I have added Fife to my bucket list travels. In doing my genealogy I have traced many lines back to Fife, on my Dad's side, Drummond, Murray, and many more. One day, can't wait! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    I lived in a farmhouse neat Balmerino for five months. My bedroom overlooked the Firth of Tay. Some of the best months of my life. I was lucky.

    Lovely. Reminds me of my childhood in Templehall. Duggy used to shout incomprehensible words when he scored a double playing kirby. Now I know why. He was from Saughenbush.

    That was EXCELLENT, sweet, simple + very inviting, as I am moving home to Scotland, my first time living in Scotland, and my family lived in Fife at Pittencrieff for 300 years: The Andersons. I want to learn Gaelic! Where can one study Gaelic in Fife?

    I was raised believing I was Irish turns out I’m actually Scottish mum was adopted early on. Managed to trace majority of family back to fife with what seems an extremely common surname for generations back which didn’t help with the research 😂

    My family lived and still lives in Fife for over 700 years. None have ever spoken Gaelic. The Kingdom of Fife was a Pictish kingdom and the place names you tried to corrupt are Pictish. I stumbled on this video and I could not believe the agenda being pushed. I saw another one a few months back where the same claim was made about Perth

    0.3% of fifers speak gaelic as a second language, the lowest percentage of gaelic speakers per council area, gaelic was spoken in fife for about 500 years and had vanished by 1600, over 400 years ago, look forward not back
