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 Stroma on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Pentland Firth, Britain, United Kingdom. A lighthouse was built on the northern tip of Stroma in 1890 to warn ships of the powerful tidal currents. It was automated in 1997. The island's name, derived from the Norse " Straumr-ey, " meaning "island in the tidal stream," reflects its location in the turbulent Pentland Firth. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Stroma was a bustling island with a close-knit community known for its self sufficiency and industry. The island's population decline was largely driven by economic factors, with many residents seeking opportunities on the mainland. In more recent centuries, Stroma was also known for smuggling and illicit whisky distilling activities. 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.
