    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.

    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! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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 😂

    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
