Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a red haired Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by Ardvreck Castle on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Sutherland, Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. It is a famous ruined castle that stands on a piece of land that juts out into Loch Assynt in Sutherland. Clan MacLeod built the castle around 1490. It was a three story tower house. Clan Mackenzie attacked and took the castle in 1672. The Mackenzies later built a modern home nearby called Calda House. A fire destroyed Calda House in 1737, and both places are now ruins. Lightning also struck the castle later on. Legend says a chief's daughter threw herself into the water and became the Mermaid of Assynt. People say a tall man in grey wanders the ruins. Many think it is the ghost of the betrayed Marquis. Scotland has the highest concentration of redheads in the world, with about 6% to 13% of the population possessing natural red hair. 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
