Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking in the rain by cliffs on a beach near cliffs on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of Foula Island located in the Shetland archipelago, Britain, United Kingdom. The name Foula comes from the Old Norse Fugley, meaning bird island. Foula was first inhabited as far back as 5,000 years ago. In 1720, a smallpox epidemic struck the two hundred people living on Foula. Because the islanders were so isolated from the rest of the world, they had no immunity to smallpox, unlike most North European peoples at that time, and nine out of ten of the island's population died in the epidemic. 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
