Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking on White Strand Beach on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of Island of Iona, Inner Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. Also known as White Strand of the Monks the beach is known for its historical significance and natural beauty. It is a sandy beach with white sands and turquoise water on sunny days, offering views of Mull. The beach is associated with the massacre of monks by Viking raiders in 806 AD, hence its name. The massacre led many monks to relocate to Kells, Ireland, establishing the Columban Abbey of Kells. Iona has been a pilgrimage site for centuries, and some believe the beach was a place where pilgrims would collect a relic or charms. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome
