Sunset With Music On Visit To The West Coast Of Island of Skye Inner Hebrides Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K short travel video clip, with Scottish music, of sunset on visit to the West coast of the Isle of Skye, Scottish Gaelic: An t-Eilean Sgitheanach or Eilean a' Cheò; in the Inner Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. In the late 18th century the harvesting of kelp became a significant activity, but from 1822 onward cheap imports led to a collapse of this industry throughout the Hebrides. During the 19th century, the inhabitants of Skye were also devastated by famine and the Highland Clearances. Thirty thousand people were evicted between 1840 and 1880 alone, many of them forced to emigrate to America and Canada. As with many Scottish islands, Skye's population peaked in the 19th century and then declined under the impact of the Clearances and the military losses in the First World War.
