Tour Scotland short Spring 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by the coast of Hascosay Island on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Orkney Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. Hascosay; Old Norse " Hafskotsey " is a small island lying between Yell and Fetlar. The population of the island was 42 in 1841, but had shrunk to thirteen within a decade. In 1871, the population numbered 4, and in 1881, the island was uninhabited. The laird, Arthur Nicolson, who had bought it had " cleared " parts of Fetlar, and it is possible that the islanders removed themselves in anticipation of a possible future forcible eviction by this landowner. 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 astronomicl Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June
