Tour Scotland 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 Isle of Noss, Shetland Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. The Isle features a prominent, detached sea stack known as the Holm of Noss. This stack is a key natural feature of the island's spectacular eastern cliffs, which are renowned for their massive seabird colonies. In the past, a cradle or basket was strung on ropes between the main island and the stack, allowing islanders access to collect seabird eggs and transport sheep for grazing on its top. This practice was eventually stopped for safety reasons. A wall was later built on the cliff edge of Noss to prevent sheep from attempting to access the stack. The name Noss comes from the Old Norse nǫs, meaning nose. The island is renowned for its noisy seabird colonies. Among the few families living on Noss were the Booth family headed by Joseph Booth, born 1765, died 1847. 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.
