Spring Road Trip Drive With Bagoipes Music Over Clackmannanshire Bridge On Visit To Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video, with Scottish bagpies music, of a road trip drive North over Clackmannanshire Bridge, a road bridge over the River of Forth on history visit to Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The bridge opened to traffic on 19 November 2008, and is positioned in an area where three council area boundaries converge. The North approach road to the bridge leaves from Clackmannanshire, the bridge itself standing in Fife, and the south approach to the bridge is within Falkirk. This means that the span of the bridge is within Fife; however, it can only be accessed by travelling through either Clackmannanshire or Falkirk council areas. Due to this unique situation a minor row over naming broke out between those local authorities with a vested interest. Clackmannanshire Council voted to suggest " Clackmannanshire Bridge " even though two other councils, Fife and Falkirk, are involved and no part of the bridge would be inside the Clackmannanshire area. Fife Council responded with " Kingdom Bridge " referring to the historic kingdom of Fife. Other suggestions included " Wallace Bridge " after Sir William Wallace. Following a public consultation, the Scottish Government announced on 1 October 2008 that the name Clackmannanshire Bridge was to be adopted. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. When driving on Scottish roads in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip.
