Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and Sporran and walking on the headland by the coast on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Island Of Housay, Shetland Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. The presence of numerous Norse place-names strongly suggests a long history of settlement on Housay, possibly dating back to the Norse period or even earlier. The island's population has varied over time. While it peaked in 1891 with nearly 90 residents, the population has since decreased, though it has seen some increase in recent decades. Housay is one of the two inhabited islands in the Out Skerries group, the other being Bruray. A bridge connects the two islands. The island is known for its association with shipwrecks, including the Dutch East Indiaman De Liefde, which sank off Housay in 1711. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
