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 Swona on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Pentland Firth, Britain, United Kingdom. The island's name may derive from Old Norse, meaning either " Swine Isle " or " Sweyn's Isle ". While once a thriving community with its own school, the last inhabitants left in 1974. The Norse period saw the island become part of the Viking territories, and its name is thought to originate from this era. Throughout the medieval and early modern periods, Swona was home to a small but thriving community, with agriculture and fishing serving as the lifeblood of the economy. The island's strategic location in the Pentland Firth, a vital maritime route, made it an important hub for navigation and trade, but also presented challenges due to its isolation and harsh weather conditions. 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.
