Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish bagpipes music, of Ossian's Cave in Glencoe on Clan ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to the Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Ossian's Cave is found high up in a cliff on the northern face of Aonach Dubh, one of the The Three Sisters of Glencoe. It appears as a tall slot, 150 feet high, in the cliff face, on the south side of the glen. The local legend insists that Ossian, or OisÃn, the warrior poet, was born in this cave. The legend tells that a girl, Sadbh, was turned into a deer by the druid Fer Doirich, and then hunted by the warrior Fionn, Finn McCool of Irish legend. Fionn caught the deer but did not slay her, and Sadbh was transformed back into her natural form. From this encounter she left pregnant with Ossian, who was born in this cave in Glencoe. Many years later Ossian met his father on Benbulben in County Sligo n north western Ireland. 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.
