Tour Scotland very short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking to the Headland on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to coast of Port Appin, Argyll,, Britain, United Kingdom. Port Appin's history is deeply intertwined with the Stewarts of Appin. The headland itself, now a popular walking route, was once an island, and the location overlooking the strait between the mainland and Lismore also reflects its historical significance as a coastal settlement and transportation hub. Elizabeth Henrietta Campbell was born in Appin in 1778, and was the second wife of Lachlan Macquarie, who served as Governor of New South Wales, Australia, from 1810 to 1821. She played a significant role in the establishment of the colony and is recognised in the naming of many Australian landmarks including Mrs Macquarie's Chair and Elizabeth Street, Hobart. Governor Macquarie named the town, now city, of Campbelltown, New South Wales after his wife's maiden name and a statue of her now stands in Mawson Park, Campbelltown. She died at Gruline House on 11 March 1835, and was posthumously granted 2,000 acres of land in New South Wales. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
