Tour Scotland very short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and Sporran and walking by Loch Tarbert on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Island of Jura, Inner Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. Jura's history spans millennia, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Mesolithic period and early Celtic settlements. The island was later under Norse rule and part of the Lords of the Isles' territories, followed by the Campbells of Craignish gaining control. Loch Tarbert's location, especially its shallow waters, made it a potential harbor. It was also a strategic point, guarding access to the island from the sea. Historically, the loch could be used as a route for crossing the isthmus connecting the western and eastern parts of the island. In 1093, King Magnus Barefoot of Norway reportedly had his longship dragged across the isthmus at Tarbert, making a claim to the island. This event demonstrates the loch's potential as a route for travel and control of the island's access. Today, Loch Tarbert is known for its scenic beauty and its use as a destination for yachters and sailboats. It's a popular spot for exploring hidden coves and enjoying the island's natural landscape. Autumn leaf color or colour is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the Autumn season, various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue and brown. The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage or simply foliage in American.
