Scotsman Walking Wearing Kilt On Sandyhills Beach On Winter History Visit To Solway Firth Scotland

Tour Scotland very short windy 4K Winter travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and and Sporran and walking on Sandyhills Bay Beach on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to coast of Solway Firth, Dumfries and Galloway, Britain, United Kingdom. The area was once a hub for smuggling tobacco, salt, and spirits from the Isle of Man. Notable maritime history includes the 1866 wreck of the schooner Elbe. The beach is famous for its extreme tidal range. At low tide, the sea can recede nearly out of sight, leaving behind vast sand flats and rock pools, but the incoming tide moves rapidly and can be dangerous. A nearby cave is said to be haunted by a piper who entered the cave playing his pipes and was never seen again. 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 All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
