Tour Scotland very short windy 4K Winter travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and and Sporran and walking by the 7th century Clach Ard Stone on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Island of Skye, Britain, United Kingdom. Clach Ard, Gaelic for Tall Stone, is a rare Class I Pictish symbol stone at the head of Loch Snizort Beag. The face is carved with common Pictish motifs, including a mirror and comb at the base, a double disc above with a Z-rod under it, and at the top a crescent and V-rod. The area around the symbols has been decorated with small circles with a round dot in the centre. These small circles are now very worn and indistinct. The stone has had a chequered past. For centuries it was served as a door jamb for a nearby house owned by a shoemaker. It was recognised as a symbol stone in 1880. The Picts existed during the Late Iron Age and Early Medieval period, approximately 3rd to 10th century AD. 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
