Tour Scotland very short 4K frosty and frozen Winter travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and and Sporran and walking by Loch Watten on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Caithness, Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. " Watten " derives from the Old Norse Vatn, meaning " water " or " lake, " making " Loch Watten " a redundant " Water Loch ". Local legend tells of Murdo Rivach Mackenzie, a Highland warrior and "wizard" who was murdered and buried near the loch's southeast end in the 14th century after a skirmish over cattle. During World War II, a military site near the loch became POW Camp 165. Known as " Britain's most secretive prisoner of war camp," it held high-ranking Nazis, including U-boat captain Otto Kretschmer and Heinrich Himmler’s chief propagandist. 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
