Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish bagpipes music, of Altnabreac on ancestry, genealogy, family history, visit and trip to North Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Altnabreac, from Scottish Gaelic Allt nam Breac, is a tiny settlement within the county of Caithness, in the north of Scotland, and now within the Highland council area. It is located on Altnabreac Moss by the Sleach Water in the Flow Country, 9 miles East of Forsinard and 23 mi les West of Wick. The settlement, notable for its remoteness. For a short while in the 1970s the peat moss was exploited by the Hydro Board which established a peat-burning power station here. A remote railway station serving the Highland Line was established here in 1874 and in 1895 the Sinclairs of Ulbster built a hunting lodge at nearby Lochdhu. 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. @tourscotland
