Tour Scotland short 4K windy Winter travel video clip of a Scotsman walking wearing a Kilt and Sporran on Tresta Beach on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of Fetlar one of the North Isles of Shetland. Fetlar's name is thought to derive from the Viking term Fat Land. The island played a significant role in the Norse settlement of Shetland, possibly even being the first landing site. Fetlar also experienced significant population decline due to land clearances for sheep farming in the 19th century. In the 1800s, Sir Arthur Nicolson cleared many townships here. By 1858 he had cleared 30 townships across large parts of the island and by 1891 the population had shrunk to 363. and it has steadily declined ever since. 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
