Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking on Clachan Sands beach by the coast on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to coast of Island of North Uist, Outer Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. The area is known for its beautiful sandy beach and is rich in ancient history. At Clachan Sands, a stone known as " Clach an t-Sagairt " " the priest's stone " was in the 18th century believed to be the site of Pictish worship. North Uist was sold to Sir John Powlett Orde in 1855 and his period was marked by the infamous Highland Clearances, which forcibly evicted many Gaels from their homes. In 1849, for example, 603 inhabitants of nearby Sollas were forcefully cleared, with many emigrating to North America. 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
