Tour Scotland short 4K Summer travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking in the rain by Etive Mor Waterfall on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Glen Etive in the Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Glen Etive is famous among Outlander fans as the dramatic Highland backdrop for the Fraser family's homestead, Fraser's Ridge. With Buachaille Etive Mòr mountain in the background it makes for a truly amazing and unique Scottish view. In the Ulster Cycle of Irish Celtic mythology, the tragic heroine Deirdre and her lover Naoise fled Ireland and sought sanctuary here, founding Glen Etive. Traditional poems record her profound heartbreak when forced to leave her beloved Scottish hills. Local folklore warns of the Fachen, or the Dwarf of Glen Etive, a frightening, monstrous creature with a single eye, a single hand, and a single leg who haunted the mountain slopes. The glen was historically inhabited by Highland families, notably tied to the Jacobite loyalties of the region. However, the tragic Highland Clearances later swept through the glen, replacing human communities with large sheep farming operations and deer stalking estates. Glen Etive has achieved global fame as a filming location, notably serving as the backdrop for Braveheart, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and most famously, James Bond's ancestral home in the 2012 film Skyfall.

Woodpecker Bird On Summer Monday Visit To My Cottage Garden Scone Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Summer Monday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a vibrant, much loved Woodpecker Bird spotted drumming for food on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire,Britain, United Kingdom. Woodpeckers are birds known for their distinctive drumming behaviour and chisel shaped beaks, which they use to excavate wood for food and nesting cavities, and they have adaptations like strong feet and stiff tail feathers to help them cling to trees. Great spotted woodpeckers can be seen in woodlands, especially with mature broad leaved trees, although mature conifers will support them. They can also be found in parks and large gardens. They will come to peanut and Suet feeders and bird tables. Not found in the far North of Scotland. Only a handful of pairs nest in Ireland, but numbers are increasing. Common in England and Wales. Legend says, if you ever see a red-headed woodpecker it will always move to the opposite side of the tree away from you because it is hiding in shame. People of varying spiritualities see a woodpecker as a friend when they're lonely. When one visits them, they gain inner strength to persevere through whatever challenges affect their daily lives. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing. Summer in Scotland officially runs from June through August

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

Tour Scotland short 4K Summer 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.
