Tour Scotland very short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and and Sporran and walking by abandoned Hallaig on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the East coast of Island Of Raasay, Outer Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. A hauntingly beautiful abandoned settlement it was once the largest township on the island, it was forcibly cleared between 1852 and 1854 during the Highland Clearances to make room for sheep grazing. Also famous for being the subject of the eponymous poem Hallaig by the renowned Gaelic poet Sorley MacLean, who was born on Raasay. Back through the gloaming to Hallaig. Through the vivid speechless air. Pouring down the steep slopes,. Their laughter misting my ear. And their beauty a glaze on my heart. Then as the kyles go dim. And the sun sets behind Dun Cana. Love’s loaded gun will take aim. 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
