Tour Scotland very short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and Sporran and walking by Uamh Fhraing Cave on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the South coast of Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. The cave was the site of a brutal event during a long standing feud between the Clan MacLeod of Skye and the Clan MacDonald of Eigg. When a MacLeod raiding party arrived, approximately 390 MacDonalds hid in the cave to escape. After initially failing to find the islanders, the MacLeods discovered their hiding spot, legend says by spotting a single set of footprints. The MacLeods piled damp thatch and wood at the cave's narrow entrance and set it alight, suffocating those inside with smoke. Reportedly, only one family escaped. Uamh Fhraing is Scottish Gaelic for Francis’s Cave. 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
