Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by Loch Chon on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Trossachs, Britain, United Kingdom. The name Loch Chon comes from the Scottish Gaelic " Loch-a-Choin, " which translates to " loch of the dog or dogs. " The area is associated with the Jacobite outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor, who held land in the nearby area of Inversnaid. During World War I, the area around Loch Chon was designated as a large ammunition dump, with shells stored in Nissan huts along the road. A local legend claims a kelpie, a mythical shape-shifting water spirit, lives in the sheltered waters of Loch Chon. There are also associations with fairies, possibly due to the loch's enchanting and remote atmosphere. 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.
