Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking in woodland on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Yester Castle near Gifford, East Lothian, Britain, United Kingdom. The castle was built by Sir Hugo de Gifford, a Norman immigrant descendant. Known as the " Wizard of Yester, " he was rumored to have created the Goblin Ha' chamber using magic and a pact with the devil. The fortress was significant during the Scottish Wars of Independence, captured by the English and later retaken by Scots in 1311. By the 15th century, the castle passed to the Hay family, later Marquesses of Tweeddale. In the middle of the 16th century, the castle was heavily involved in conflicts and eventually abandoned . In the late 17th century, the 1st Earl and 1st Marquess of Tweeddale planted over 6,000 acres of woodland. 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
