Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman walking wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by a prehistoric Broch on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of South Mainland Shetland Island, Britain, United Kingdom. A massive drystone tower dating from between 400 BC and 200 BC. While primarily Iron Age, the site shows continuous use through the Pictish and Viking periods, into medieval and even 19th century post medieval times. Built in stone by the inhabitants of the largely treeless islands, they are described as the zenith of prehistoric architectural achievement in Northern Europe. Brochs, meaning strong or fortified place in Old Norse, are massive, circular, double skinned drystone towers which would have dominated the landscape of northern and western Scotland during the iron age. 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. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June
