Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of the sight and sounds of waves on the sea cliffs on history visit and trip to Yesnaby an area in Sandwick on the West Coast of the mainland of the Orkney Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. Yesnabay It is renowned for its spectacular Old Red Sandstone coastal cliff scenery and the area is popular with climbers. The coastal cliffs are formed from the Lower Devonian sandstones ascribed to the Yesnaby Sandstone Group, a set of geological formations restricted to the Yesnaby area, and to the overlying beds of the Lower Stromness Flagstones. Orkney folklore suggests that a woman known as the Yesnaby Healer had the ability to stop bleeding in any person, even over a distance. The Orkney composer Peter Maxwell Davies has immortalised Yesnaby through Yesnaby Ground, an Interlude for solo piano. During the Second World War an anti-aircraft battery was built on the cliff top at Yesnaby as part of the defences of the Royal Navy base at Scapa Flow. The battery was manned by the Royal Navy and some traces of the wartime buildings remain. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. 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. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing
