Tour Scotland very short 4K Winter travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by cliffs during storm waves on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Morvern Peninsula, West Coast, Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Morvern, Scottish Gaelic: A' Mhorbhairne, meaning the sea gap, is historically also spelt Morven. The Morvern Peninsula has a rich history of Viking occupation and later as a stronghold of the Lord of the Isles. The area was subject to Viking influence, with battles fought on the peninsula. Somerled, a Hebridean warrior prince, led the defense against the Vikings and established a significant base in Morvern. Morvern, like other Highland areas, suffered greatly from the Highland Clearances, where land was cleared for sheep farming, leading to displacement of the population.. In 1930, residents of St. Kilda were relocated to Morvern, particularly to Lochaline. 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
