Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by the coast of Scalpay Island on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Outer Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. Scalpay, Scottish Gaelic: Sgalpaigh or Sgalpaigh na Hearadh, has a history interwoven with fishing, Gaelic culture, and a famous royal refuge. In 1746, Bonnie Prince Charlie sought shelter on Scalpay after his defeat at Culloden. Archaeological evidence suggests Scalpay has been inhabited since the Mesolithic period. The name " Scalpay" may originate from Old Norse, meaning " ship island " or " scallop island ". In the 1840s, families displaced by the Clearances on other islands were resettled on Scalpay. In 1549, Scalpay was described as belonging to Clan Maclean of Duart. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
