Tour Scotland short 4K late Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking in icy Glen Sligachan on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Isle of Skye, Britain, United Kingdom. The landscape was shaped by glacial movement and is known for its rugged, wild beauty. The name Sligachan is thought to mean " small shells " in Gaelic, from a time when the area was a natural ford with many shells. Historically, it served as a resting spot for travelers. The area is associated with historical clan battles, including the 1395 MacLeod and MacDonald conflict and the 1601 " Battle of Coire na Creic " between the MacLeod and MacDonald clans, where the Fairy Pools reportedly turned red from the bloodshed. An ancient tale tells of a fierce Scottish warrior woman, Scáthach, who lived in the Cuillins and was challenged to a duel by the Irish warrior Cú Chulainn. The battle raged for days. Scáthach's daughter, seeking to end the fighting, was guided by fairies to the river here where dipping her face in the water for seven seconds without drying it naturally would grant her the wisdom to stop the conflict. Since then, it is widely believed that those who immerse their face in the river's cold water can be granted eternal beauty. 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.
