Tour Scotland short 4K Summer travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking in the rain by Etive Mor Waterfall on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Glen Etive in the Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Glen Etive is famous among Outlander fans as the dramatic Highland backdrop for the Fraser family's homestead, Fraser's Ridge. With Buachaille Etive Mòr mountain in the background it makes for a truly amazing and unique Scottish view. In the Ulster Cycle of Irish Celtic mythology, the tragic heroine Deirdre and her lover Naoise fled Ireland and sought sanctuary here, founding Glen Etive. Traditional poems record her profound heartbreak when forced to leave her beloved Scottish hills. Local folklore warns of the Fachen, or the Dwarf of Glen Etive, a frightening, monstrous creature with a single eye, a single hand, and a single leg who haunted the mountain slopes. The glen was historically inhabited by Highland families, notably tied to the Jacobite loyalties of the region. However, the tragic Highland Clearances later swept through the glen, replacing human communities with large sheep farming operations and deer stalking estates. Glen Etive has achieved global fame as a filming location, notably serving as the backdrop for Braveheart, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and most famously, James Bond's ancestral home in the 2012 film Skyfall. 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.
