Tour Scotland 4K short Winter travel video clip, with Scottish music, of an outdoor Christmas lights Eagle on Tay Street by the River Tay on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Christmas lights, also known informally as fairy lights, are lights used for decoration in preparation for Christmas and for display throughout Christmastide. The custom goes back to the use of candles to decorate the Christmas tree in Christian homes in early modern Germany. The first known electrically illuminated Christmas or Xmas tree was the creation of Edward H. Johnson, an associate of inventor Thomas Edison, on December 22, 1882 at his home on Fifth Avenue in New York City, USA. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. 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. The golden eagle is the top predator in the Scottish countryside; it is a massive bird of prey that mainly hunts rabbits and mountain hares but will also catch foxes, young deer and large birds like grouse. It can be seen soaring high in the sky in upland areas and remote glens in the north and west of Scotland. Golden eagles have large home territories, nesting on rocky cliff faces and in trees where it builds a giant nest or eyrie. A massive bird of prey, the golden eagle’s wings and tail are only marginally smaller than the rarer white tailed eagle. Adults are mainly dark brown, with a golden head and neck. Young birds have white patches in their wings and a white base to the tail. The golden eagle is the national bird of Germany, Austria, Mexico and Kazakhstan! It is revered in many countries, forming the basis of everything from coats of arms to spiritual customs
