Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by cliffs on the coast of Island of Copinsay on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Orkney Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. A lighthouse was completed in 1915 by engineer D. Alan Stevenson. It remained a family station until families moved to the mainland in the 1950s. Originally named Kolbeinsay by the Norse, it was inhabited for centuries. Copinsay has a history dating back to the Iron Age and was later named by the Norse, likely after a Viking chief, Kolbein. The last family, the Groats, left the island in 1958. One notable myth associated with Copinsay is the story of the " Copinsay Brownie ". The Brownie, a naked creature with a flat, bald head, was said to perform chores for the farmer in exchange for food. The legend tells of the farmer's new wife, concerned about the Brownie's nakedness in the cold, making him a cloak and hood. Upon receiving the clothing, the Brownie was heard wailing, " Hufbo's gotten cloak and hood, So Hughbo can do no more good," before disappearing forever. 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.
