Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by flowers in a garden on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Finlaystone House n Langbank, Britain, United Kingdom. It famously serving as the seat of Clan MacMillan. Originally known as " Finlay's Town," the lands belonged to the Danzielstone family. King Robert II officially confirmed the estate to Sir John de Danyelstoun in 1373. George Jardine Kidston, Chairman of the Clyde Shipping Company, bought the estate after it spent a few decades with the Cunningham Grahams and Carrick Buchanans. The famous Protestant reformer visited the estate under the protection of the 5th Earl of Glencairn. Knox performed the world's first Protestant Reformed communion service here. The service took place outdoors under a ancient yew tree. Scotland’s national poet was a close friend and recipient of patronage from James, the 14th Earl of Glencairn. During a stay at Finlaystone House, Burns famously etched his signature into a drawing room window pane using a diamond. 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
