Tour Scotland very short Winter 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and and Sporran and walking during storm waves on Annan beach on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Solway Firth, Britain, United Kingdom. Located about 1.4 miles south of the town of Annan, this is a quiet beach composed mostly of shingle. It is a popular spot for dog walking and birdwatching, though visitors should beware of signs warning of quicksand on the tidal flats. The poet Robert Burns was born on the 25 of January 1759 in Alloway near the west coast which provided the coastal backdrop for many of his works. He was a regular visitor to Annan as it was on his tour of duty as an exciseman along the Solway shore where smuggling was common. He regularly stayed with Provost Williamson whose residence was located just off Annan High Street and it was there 1792 that he wrote the Deil’s Awa wi the Exciseman, one of his best known songs. 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
