Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking on Inchcailloch Island on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Loch Lomond, Britain, United Kingdom. Inchcailloch, Scottish Gaelic: Innis na Cailleach, is also known to some as Inchebroida. The name Inchcailloch means " Isle of the old woman " or " Isle of the Cowled or Hooded Woman " in the Scottish Gaelic language. Saint Kentigerna went to Scotland from Ireland to preach and spread Christianity and the island is thought to be named after her. Inchcailloch has been used as a hunting forest since the reign of Robert the Bruce. The Clan MacGregor burial ground here includes some of Rob Roy's ancestors. Legends have passed by word of mouth that the bones of a woman were found under the altar stone during an excavation. The island is sacred to the MacGregors, and in the tangled branches and amongst the green trees is their ancient burial ground. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
