Boat Trip On History Visit To Outer Hebrides Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of part of a boat trip on history visit to the coast of Outer Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. The Outer Hebrides which is an island chain off the west coast of mainland Scotland. It is the longest archipelago in the British Isles. Settlers arrived by sea, mingling with the earlier inhabitants. Norse rule lasted until the Treaty of Perth in 1266, with the islands known as Innse Gall meaning Isle of the Foreigners. After the Norse period, Scottish clans, like the MacLeods and MacDonalds, vied for control, often caught in conflicts with both Scotland and England. The 18th and 19th centuries saw widespread evictions of islanders to make way for sheep farming, leading to mass emigration, particularly to North America and Australia. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. #scotland #coast #sea #shortsvideo @tourscotland ​ All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
