Tour Scotland short 4K late Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking in icy Glenesk on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Highlands of Angus, Britain, United Kingdom. The area is crisscrossed by hill paths, showing it has been a thoroughfare for centuries, connecting it to neighbouring glens and the low country. From 1750 the Highland Clearances severely impacted Glenesk. Crofters were forced off their land to make way for large scale sheep farming and to prevent further Jacobite risings. Many residents moved to coastal areas, cities, or emigrated to North America, Canada, or Australia. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited Glenesk in 1861, crossing the mountains on horseback. The area has relics of life from early times onwards. 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
