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.
In a way, you have. You just didn't realise it.
An absolutely lovely film with fantastic aerial footage. What a great showcase for Fife.
Thank you! Thank you for making this about my home county!
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! 🏴
Please make sure to head to the East Neuk if you come here! Particularly Elie, Anstruther and Crail :)
I will go there someday! I've always wanted to go there considering my last name and family!😁😍
I found this interesting Gr Grand Papa was from Leuchars, Fife we have a smattering if Gaelic words still in our family which is now explained
Choose Fife. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. And so on.
As they say to me " I'd rather be a lifer than a fifer" well more fool you then 😂
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.
Very nice
Tracing back I found several ancestors in both lines that were born in Fife. Interesting
Love this 👌🥰🥰
Lucky to live in fife
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
Correct!
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.
In what years and during which reign?
Sorry but im pushing back on this…Kingdom of Fib was not a predominantly Gaelic speaking region.
Aber, Pet(t) or Pit names are a representation of what was once settlement area of pictish people.
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'm an old guy from Fife. I haven't heard one person speaking Gaelic.

I’m a really old guy fae Fife, and the only Gaelic I’ve heard is on BBC Alba channel.
Even the name Pittencrieff isnt Gaelic, its Pictish!
Lovely video of a beautiful place.
Much of my family is from here. Im in central USA.
you lost pal. just go to the checkout and the lady will help.
Gaelic? aye right
Stayed in fife o ma life
This is quite a cool video, it’s a shame only 2% of Gaelic speakers in Scotland live in Fife
Fife is getting a bit gentrified with house prices rising at a fast pace. From Leven. going east all the way to St Andrews it's becoming unaffordable for the locals and 'moneyed' folk are moving in which drives up the property prices.
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 😂
I stay in The Loch of Shining Waters
Our language was outlawed by the English. Up in Scotland. They only learn English as a 3rd language after our real language Gaelic then nordic then scottish English..
Todos alla som fifes? 💋
My last name is Fife 😄
Scotland is going back to our language. Gaelic. First school in over 400 years in Glasgow there a primary school only gaelic then other languages. Back to multi lingual..
Gaelic in Fife 😂
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
