Scotsman Walking By Loch Maree On History Visit To North West Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland very short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and walking by Loch Maree on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the North West Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Scottish Gaelic: Loch Ma-ruibhe, it is the fourth largest freshwater loch in Scotland. Between 671 and 722, Celtic Church missionary St Máel Ruba arrived at Loch Maree, and founded a chapel and Christian pilgrimage shrine. The loch became a popular spot for trout fishing after Queen Victoria visited the Loch Maree Hotel at Talladale in 1877. Thomas Pennant, writing in 1772, recorded that the loch was considered a holy well whose waters were thought to have curative effects, with being submerged in the water thought to be a cure for lunacy. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. @tourscotland #scotland #shortsvideo #loch #highlands All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
