Tour Scotland short 4K Winter travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking in the rain in Alva Glen on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Clackmannanshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The Alva Burn, a small river, was harnessed to power woollen mills. Local legend states the glen is inhabited by faerie folk and haunted by a witch known as Jenny Mutton.A cavern in the glen was historically used to hide illicitly distilled spirits. By 1830, nine mills operated along the water. Nearby Silver Glen was the site of a 1710 silver strike, which produced the purest silver ever found in Great Britain. In 1912, a prehistoric skeleton was discovered in a rock cavity at the glen's entrance. The remains belonged to a person about 4 feet 2 inches tall, leading to the name " Dwarf's Tomb." 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.
