Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by the lighthouse and coast of Little Cumbrae Island on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Firth of Clyde, Britain, United Kingdom. The island's name, Cumbrae, may derive from the Celtic Cymry or from Gaelic words for shelter or refuge. The island served as a place of pilgrimage, especially for suitors, and was the burial place of the 7th century Saint Bey, who established a church there. It's considered the site of Britain's earliest parliament, bringing together representatives from various islands. The first lighthouse on the Clyde was built on Lighthouse Hill in 1757, using a coal fire for light. The present second lighthouse was built on the western shore in 1793 to replace the less effective coal-fired one, becoming fully automated in 1997. 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
