Tour Scotland very short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and and Sporran and walking on Inver Bay Beach on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to coast of Island Of Raasay, Outer Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. Raasay, Scottish Gaelic: Ratharsair, sometimes known as the Isle of Raasay, is an island between the Isle of Skye and the mainland of Scotland. It is separated from Skye by the Sound of Raasay and from Applecross by the Inner Sound. It is famous for being the birthplace of Gaelic poet Sorley MacLean. Evidence of Neolithic and Iron Age settlements, including brochs, indicates early human presence on Raasay. The island later became part of the Norse Kingdom of the Isles, leaving a lasting impact on place names and culture. For a long time, Raasay was owned by the MacLeod family. In the 19th century, the island was sold to George Rainy, who implemented sheep farming and cleared many residents from their land. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
