Tour Scotland short 4K Summer travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking in Glen Rosa on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Island of Arran, Firth of Clyde, Britain, United Kingdom. Historically, the glen was heavily wooded, but overgrazing led to the disappearance of trees. During the 19th century, the Hamilton family initiated a program of forced evictions, leading to the depopulation of villages and emigration for many islanders. The Clearances were a period of forced removal of tenants from their homes across the Scottish Highlands and islands, including the Isle of Arran, during the 18th and 19th centuries. Evictions were often carried out with brutality, including using troops and burning homes to ensure tenants could not return. Many of the displaced people emigrated to Canada, America, Australia, and New Zealand, while others were forced into new coastal communities with little economic opportunity. The name has also been used for modern vessels, such as a decommissioned paddle steamer that served the Firth of Clyde, and a and passenger ferry named MV Glen Rosa.

Tour Scotland 4K Summer Thursday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a bushy tailed Grey Squirrel spotted opening feeder box and eating peanuts on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. While Squirrels are known for their agility and resourcefulness in finding food, providing them with supplementary nourishment can offer an exciting opportunity for observation and interaction. As its name suggests, this squirrel typically has a grey coat with white undersides, though the coat colour can also be quite brown at times. Grey squirrels are mainly herbivorous, eating acorns, hazel nuts, berries, fungi, buds and shoots, and even bark. The grey squirrel was introduced to Great Britain in the middle of the 19th century. There is now an estimated population of 2 million making them much more common than the native red squirrel. They arrived in England from North America and are now one of Britain's most well known and frequently seen mammals, with an estimated population of 2 million. It is a myth that grey squirrels chase red squirrels away. Greys are just more adaptable to new surroundings. 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. Feeding grey squirrels provides a wonderful opportunity for observing their behaviours up close. You might witness their playful antics, social interactions, and even their impressive agility while navigating your garden. While squirrels may become accustomed to your presence, it's essential to remember that they are wild animals. Maintain a respectful distance, and never attempt to handle or approach them closely . Feeding grey squirrels in your garden can offer a unique connection to nature, fostering a sense of appreciation for the wildlife that coexists alongside us. By providing suitable and healthy food options, you can contribute to their well being while enjoying the delightful charm these creatures bring to your outdoor space.
