Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and walking by cliffs on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the West coast of Isle Of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. The west coast of the Isle of Lewis, boasts a rich history, stretching back thousands of years. Early inhabitants, including Neolithic farmers, left behind evidence of their presence in the form of stone circles and settlements. The island's history includes periods of Viking influence and clan rivalries. The Vikings began settling in Lewis in the 9th century AD, after years of raiding the island. They intermarried with the local population, and the islands became part of the Kingdom of Mann and the Isles, which was under Norwegian control. During the medieval period, Lewis was divided among powerful clans, with the MacLeods, Morisons, and MacNicol family being prominent. The island was part of the feudal system, with land and protection exchanged for military service. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. @tourscotland #scotland #shortsvideo #coast #kilt
