Tour Scotland very short 4K windy Winter travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and and Sporran and walking by the headland at Harlosh Point on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to the West Coast of Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. Only a mile southwest of the of Harlosh, the headland of Harlosh Point sits at the end of a peninsula, Harlosh, Scottish Gaelic: Heàrrlois, is a settlement on the island of Skye. The name " Harlosh " is of Old Norse origin and may refer to a river mouth, although the meaning is not clear. Skye is almost 50 miles long, and its coastline is so deeply indented that no part is more than 5 miles rom the sea. Skye was occupied in prehistoric times and settled by Gaelic speaking Scots from Ireland. Norsemen ruled the island from the 9th to the 12th century. Thereafter, while the kingdom of Scotland claimed the island, the Lords of the Isles maintained independent control of the Hebrides until the 15th century. During the late 18th and early 19th centuries the poverty of the crofters was extreme, and large numbers were forced to emigrate. Sea fishing industry, once a mainstay of the economy, has declined, but commercial fish farming, particularly of salmon, is now an important part of the local economy. 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. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March
