Tour Scotland very short 4K Winter travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking during storm waves on Balephuil Bay Beach on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the South West coast of Isle of Tiree, Inner Hebides, Britain, United Kingdom. The bay's Gaelic name, Tràigh Bhì, is believed to honour St. MoBhì, a 6th century Irish saint. Between the 18th and early 20th centuries, the bay was a hub for kelp production. On 8 July 1856, a sudden storm struck a local fishing fleet. Despite warnings, several boats had set out; nine men drowned, leaving a lasting impact on the small community. Tiree was inhabited by the Picts as early as the 5th century, with evidence suggesting earlier settlements as well. Gaelic speaking Scots from Ireland displaced the Picts in the 5th century, marking the beginning of a long line of cultural shifts on the island. The island had strong ties to the monastery on Iona, providing grain to the monastic community and hosting early monasteries itself. Tiree came under Norse rule before eventually falling under Scottish control in 1266. Following the Norse period, Tiree was controlled by Clan MacDonald and later Clan MacLean.
