Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking on Island of Inch Kenneth on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the West Coast off the Isle of Mull, Britain, United Kingdom. The island, Gaelic: Innis Choinnich, is named after Saint. Kenneth, also known as St. Kenneth of Aghaboe, a follower of St. Columba, who is said to have founded a monastery there. While the island is not as renowned for royal burials as Iona, it's believed that Scottish kings were sometimes interred on Inch Kenneth when Iona was inaccessible due to weather. In the early 1930s the island was owned by Sir Harold Boulton, 2nd Baronet, the writer of the words to the Skye Boat Song. Unity Mitford spent her final years on the island. The island was a location for the 1993 feature film Walk Me Home produced by author Timothy Neat. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
