Tour Scotland short 4K late Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by icy, freshwater Loch More on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Sutherland Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. The area around the loch also has historical ties to ancient kingdoms like the Picts and Norse rule before becoming part of Scotland. The loch's shape was carved by glaciers during the last ice age, which ended around 15,000 years ago, leaving behind the valleys and hills characteristic of the region. The region was once part of the Pictish kingdom of Cat, which was conquered by the Norse in the 9th century. The land surrounding the loch was significantly impacted by the Sutherland Clearances in the 19th century. Landowners, most notably the Dukes of Sutherland and their factor James Loch, forcefully evicted families to make way for large sheep farms and deer forests. 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
