Tour Scotland very short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by cliffs on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of uninhabited tidal island of Uyea, located to the northwest of Mainland Shetland, Britain, United Kingdom. Uyea lies off the Northmavine peninsula, from where it can be reached by foot at low tide. The island was home to Sir Basil Neven Spence, a Member of Parliament for Orkney and Shetland from 1935 to 1950. A famous incident involved two girls who, after rowing to a neighboring island to milk cows, were blown by a storm all the way to Norway in 1745. The name " Uyea " likely comes from the Old Norse word for " island " or possibly " island of the sacred place ". 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. 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
