Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by cliffs on the coast of Scarp Island on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Outer Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. Scarp was one of several Scottish islands, including St Kilda and Handa, where all the men of the island would gather every morning in a so-called " parliament ", to agree the work to be done on that day. Such meetings would sometimes last for many hours, and on these occasions no work would be done, except by the women of the island. Scarp was the site of an experiment by German inventor Gerhard Zucker to deliver the island's post by rocket mail. In July 1934 Zucker made two unsuccessful attempts at firing rocket mail between Scarp and Harris. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
