Scotsman Walking On Hacosay Island On History Visit To Shetland Islands Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by the coast of uninhabited Hacosay Island on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Shetland Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. The island was inhabited for a period, with a recorded population of 42 in 1841. The population rapidly decreased within a few decades, with only 4 people remaining in 1871 and the island becoming uninhabited by 1881. The laird, Arthur Nicolson, is believed to have contributed to the island's depopulation through potential evictions or the threat thereof, similar to his actions on Fetlar.
