Tour Scotland very short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and and Sporran and walking near Hoo Stack on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of Nesting a parish in the Shetland Islands, Britain, United Kingdom.The coast here is deeply indented by voes and headlands. Nesting has a rich history rooted in its landscape and influenced by Norse settlement. The area's geography, shaped by glacial retreat, features sheltered inlets and prominent headlands, which influenced early settlement and the development of crofting systems. The name Nesting itself derives from the Old Norse " Nes " meaning point and ping or ting, meaning assembly, reflecting the importance of the area for Norse meetings. The Norse language, Norn, was the dominant language in Shetland until the 18th century, and its influence can still be seen in the local dialect today. Nesting parish was formed, incorporating the ancient parish of Lunnasting and the island parish of Whalsay in 1891. Nesting played a role during World War II, particularly in the Shetland Bus operations smuggling people and supplies between Shetland and Nazi occupied Norway. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. @tourscotland #scotland #shortsvideo #kilt #sporran #scotsman #shetland
