Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by Cora Linn waterfall on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to the River Clyde, South Lanarkshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Corra Linn, the most impressive of the four waterfalls that make up the Falls of Clyde. In 1802, William Wordsworth immortalized Corra Linn, the largest of the River Clyde waterfalls, in verse. Corra Linn has also been painted by a number of artists, including J. M. W. Turner. The name comes from the Gaelic " currach ", a marshy place. A local legend says that Cora was a daughter of King Malcolm II, who leapt to her death here whilst trying to escape imagined danger. The power of the falls was a primary reason for the development of the nearby New Lanark cotton mills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in the late 18th century. The water was harnessed for the mills as early as the 14th century, and later used for public electricity generation when the Bonnington Power Station was built in 1927, the first hydro-electric power station in Scotland for public supply. 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.
