Madonna and Child Marble Statue On History Visit To Island of Barra Outer Hebrides Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K very short Summer travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the white marble statue of Madonna and Child known as Our Lady, Star of the Sea, on the South eastern slopes of Heaval mountain, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Island of Barra, Outer Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. The statue was carved from Carrara marble in the Italian town of Pietrasanta and installed here in 1954. Carrara marble, or Luna marble to the Romans, is a type of white or blue-grey marble popular for use in sculpture and building decor. It has been quarried since Roman times in the mountains just outside the city of Carrara in the province of Massa and Carrara in the Lunigiana, the northernmost tip of modern day Tuscany, Italy. 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.
