Scotsman Walking By Loch Ewe On History Visit To North West Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland very short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and walking by Loch Ewe on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to North west Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Scottish Gaelic: Loch Iùbh, it is a sea loch. Due to the rugged and inaccessible terrain in which it is located, Loch Ewe has always been an assembly point for maritime trade. Loch Ewe was a temporary base of the Home Fleet during the Second World War. It was also used as an assembly point for the Arctic Convoys during the war. Ships from the British, American and other ports gathered here before sailing to Murmansk from September 1942 following the disaster of Convoy PQ 17 in order to confuse German intelligence. At the German surrender in April 1945 Loch Ewe became the British marshalling point for many of the German U-boats that had surrendered while at sea.

The Mallard, anas platyrhynchos, is the most familiar and widespread species of dabbling duck bird in Europe, including Britain and Ireland.

The male has a distinctive bottle green head, a white collar, purple-brown breast and grey on the wings and underparts. The female has mottled brown plumage. Mallards are sociable ducks.
