Tour Scotland short 4K late Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by icy Loch Spynie on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Moray, Britain, United Kingdom. In prehistoric and medieval times, Loch Spynie was a large, expansive sea loch or lagoon estuary, sometimes called the Sea of Spynie", with a connection to the Moray Firth. The loch provided a safe anchorage for fishing and merchant vessels, leading to the development of a thriving settlement and a significant port for the nearby town of Elgin. Spynie Palace, the fortified residence of the Bishops of Moray for 500 years, was strategically built on the edge of this sea loch. Over centuries, a combination of wind blown sand and longshore drift caused the connection to the sea to silt up, turning the estuarine lagoon into a landlocked freshwater loch, a process largely complete by the 17th century. 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
