Tour Scotland short 4K late Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by icy, upland freshwater Loch Callater on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Aberdeenshire, Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. The track that runs past Loch Callater is part of an historic drovers road, known as Jock's Road, which historically facilitated the movement of cattle and sheep between Braemar and Glen Doll. The area was admired by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Queen Victoria noted its beauty during her last expedition with the Prince Consort on October 16, 1861. The glen is also reputedly a favourite haunt of King Charles when he stays at the nearby Balmoral castle estate. The area has clerical associations, earning it the nickname " the miracle glen ". A local legend tells of a priest named Phadruig ot Patrick, whose prayers at a well, Peter's Well, were said to have caused a thaw during a particularly harsh winter, saving the local populace from famine. 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.
