Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by Loch Sunart on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the West coast of Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. It is a long and narrow sea loch located on the west coast of Scotland, known for its stunning scenery, diverse wildlife, and extensive woodlands. It is bordered by the Ardnamurchan peninsula to the north and the Morvern district to the south. After the Viking era, the Loch Sunart area was ruled by Scottish kings and later became part of the Lordship of the Isles. The Clan MacIain, a branch of the powerful Clan Donald, held Mingary Castle and controlled the area for over 300 years. The MacIains lost their power in the 17th century, paving the way for the rise of Clan Campbell. Supporters of the Jacobite uprisings were active in the area in both 1715 and 1745. Bonnie Prince Charlie landed nearby in 1745 to begin his campaign. Following the Jacobite defeat, landowners began "improving" their holdings by evicting local crofters to create sheep farms. Evicted families either emigrated or were moved to smaller crofts on marginal land. 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.
