Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by the coast of Papa Stronsay Island on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Orkney Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. Papa Stronsay was likely a site for Irish hermits and Pictish Christian clerics, with archaeological evidence of chapels and enclosures. The Vikings, who arrived in the 8th and 9th centuries, acknowledged the island's religious importance by naming it " Papa Stronsay " which translates to " Priests Island of Stronsay ". According to folklore, some of the Papa Stronsay natives were descended from a female selkie. This was because they had horny skin on their feet and hands, and permanently smelled of fish. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
