Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by the coast of Tahay Island on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Outer Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. Tahay, Scottish Gaelic: Taghaigh, is a small, uninhabited island in the Sound of Harris. In 1846, six families who had been evicted from Pabbay as part of the Highland Clearances were resettled there. They attempted to make a living by fishing, but the lack of arable land and the harsh conditions led them to emigrate to Australia in the 1850s. The Clearances were a period in the 19th century when large numbers of people were forcibly removed from their homes in the Scottish Highlands and Islands to make way for sheep farming. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
