Tour Scotland short 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of The Wolf of Badenoch effigy on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Dunkeld, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The Wolf died in 1394 and he was then buried in Dunkeld Cathedral. His tomb, topped by an effigy in armour, is one of the few Scottish royal monuments to have survived from the Middle Ages. The Wolf of Badenoch was Alexander Stewart, born 1343 died 1394, a ruthless and powerful Scottish prince, son of King Robert II, known for his cruelty, abuse of power in the Highlands, and infamous attack on Elgin Cathedral in 1390 after a dispute with the Bishop of Moray. He was granted the Lordship of Badenoch, gaining vast lands and titles, but his lawless rule, use of " caterans " known as bandits, and violent clashes with church officials led to excommunication and widespread infamy, cementing his nickname from his base in northern Scotland, particularly near Loch an Eilein Castle. 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
