Tour Scotland short 4K early Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by Whithorn Priory on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Dumfries And Galloway, Britain, United Kingdom. Widely recognized as the cradle of Scottish Christianity it was first established around the 4th or 5th century by Saint Ninian, this highly sacred site evolved into a grand medieval monastery, a bustling cathedral, and a premier destination for pilgrims from across Britain and Europe for well over a millennium. St Ninian built a famous whitewashed stone church here known as Candida Casa, the White House, around AD 397. It quickly grew into a massive pilgrimage hub where kings, traders, and ordinary travellers sought out Ninian's miraculous shrine. In the mid-1100s, Fergus, the Lord of Galloway, founded a grand priory for Premonstratensian monks, which eventually doubled as the cathedral church of the region. It was a lavish complex that regularly welcomed royal pilgrims, including King James IV. The luxury ended abruptly with the Protestant Reformation of 1560. The monastery was suppressed, and over the centuries the colossal church fell into decay.

Magpie Birds On Autumn Monday Visit To My Cottage Garden Scone Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K early Autumn Monday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of beautiful, sociable, black and white Magpie Birds spotted eating on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The magpie bird is one of our most familiar birds and the source of much myth and legend: '" ne for sorrow, two for a joy "is a rhyme that many children learn. Magpies are, in fact, small crows, and are omnivorous, feeding on carrion, invertebrates, and chicks and eggs. They are sociable birds and are often seen in small groups across many habitats, from gardens to parks, and heaths to hedges. The magpie is an unmistakeable long tailed bird. It is mainly black, with a white belly and white patches on the shoulders and wings. Folklore surrounds the magpie: from providing good luck when greeted, to being in league with the Devil, its ubiquitous presence has provided plenty of opportunities for stories. Many surround religion, including the belief that it didn't mourn with all the other birds at Christ's crucifixion, and that it refused to enter Noah's Ark, preferring to stay on the roof and swear for the whole journey. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings.
