Tour Scotland short 4K late Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by icy and spectacular Loch Fionn on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Fionn Loch is a large, scenic loch located in the Assynt region of Sutherland near the famous mountain Suilven. The area's landscape is a product of the last Ice Age, with glaciers carving out the rock basins and creating the lochs and low hills that characterize the region. The loch was also named in relation to the Viking presence in the area. The name Suilven is a contraction of the Old Norse words súl meaning pillar and fjall meaning mountain. Fionn Loch means " Fair or Clear Loch " in Gaelic. Like much of the Highlands, the area around Fionn Loch has a history of human settlement and clearance. Nearby areas saw evictions in the 1800s to make way for sheep farming, 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
