Tour Scotland Winter 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of a sunny road trip drive on the A955 road through Coaltown of Wemyss on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to East Wemyss in Fife. East Wemyss was traditionally one of several coal mining communities along the south coast of Fife. The pit was its main employer for many years until it was closed in 1967 due to a fire which resulted in the deaths of nine men. The mine has since been demolished, however a memorial to the pit and the men who died has been erected. East Wemyss is also home to the ruins of MacDuff's Castle, home to the MacDuff Earls of Fife, the most powerful family in Fife during the Middle Ages. The town's most notable son is Jimmy Shand, born 1908, died 2000, a Scottish musician who played traditional Scottish dance music on the accordion. The surname Wemyss was first found in Fife, where they held a family seat from very ancient times as Lords of the Castle of Wemyss, so named from the Gaelic word Uamch, a cave, derived from the lands and cliffs in which caves abound on the seashore.

ScotRail are proposing to end the fast, limited stop, servcies between Glasgow and Inverclyde. This will affect both the Gourock and Wemyss Bay lines. This would have a detrimental effect on people who rely on the trains and would represent a significant reduction in service in Inverclyde and in the quality of those services.

Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish bagpipes and drums music, of a road trip drive on ancestry, genealogy, history visit Tyndrum Junction in the Highlands. This is one of Scotland's most beautiful and scenic roads. Located just outside the village of the village of Tyndrum to the north, and sometimes referred to as Milton, is the junction where the A85 turns west for Oban, whilst the A82 continues north to Glen Coe and Fort William. It is a T junction with a slip road for A82 South to A85 traffic. Very little traffic turns between the A85 and the A82 North, partly because they both vaguely head in the same direction, albeit being a very long way round.
