Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by cliffs on the coast of Island of Copinsay on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Orkney Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. Originally named Kolbeinsay by the Norse, it was inhabited for centuries. Copinsay has a history dating back to the Iron Age and was later named by the Norse, likely after a Viking chief, Kolbein. The last family, the Groats, left the island in 1958. One notable myth associated with Copinsay is the story of the " Copinsay Brownie ". The Brownie, a naked creature with a flat, bald head, was said to perform chores for the farmer in exchange for food. The legend tells of the farmer's new wife, concerned about the Brownie's nakedness in the cold, making him a cloak and hood. Upon receiving the clothing, the Brownie was heard wailing, " Hufbo's gotten cloak and hood, So Hughbo can do no more good," before disappearing forever. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day . Storm Floris.
