Scotsman Walking Wearing Kilt In Burn O’ Vat Gorge On Winter History Visit To Aberdeenshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Winter travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking in the rain by a waterfall in Burn O’ Vat Gorge on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Aberdeenshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Burn O'Vat, an amazing bowl shaped geological gorge feature which was carved out by glacial melt at the end of the last Ice Age. The Vat has a long history as a sanctuary for fugitives. While local legend often mistakenly identifies the famous Rob Roy MacGregor as a former occupant, it was actually his relative, the notorious 17th century bandit Patrick Gilroy MacGregor, known as Gilderoy, who used it as a hideout from authorities. The site became a popular scenic destination in the 19th century after Queen Victoria made the Royal Deeside area fashionable.
