Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by the coast of Fuiay Island on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Outer Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. Fuiay, Gaelic: Fùidheigh, is one of ten islands in the Sound of Barra. The island had six households located along Rubh' an Aiseig, ferry headland, in the north west at some point, probably in the early 19th century. It has been uninhabited since about 1850. There is a tidal inlet here that may have been an effective fish trap. The island's name may be of Norse origin, potentially meaning " house island " or a combination of Gaelic and Norse elements. Fuiay is one of several uninhabited islands off the northeast coast of Barra and other islands in the vicinity include Orosay, Fuday and Gighay. The sea to the north west is peppered with small islets and skerries. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
