Tour Scotland very short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and and Sporran and walking at sunrise on Talisker Bay Beach on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of Isle of Skye, Britain, United Kingdom. The beach is located a few miles west of Carbost, on the western coast of the Minginish Peninsula. The bay has a dramatic sea stack at its southern end and faces almost due west, making it a perfect location to watch the Sunset. Talisker, Scottish Gaelic: Talasgair, was for centuries a possession of the Clan Macleod. For nearly two hundred years it was associated with a cadet branch of the chiefly line, founded by Sir Roderick Macleod, 1st of Talisker, born 1606, died 1675. Sir Roderick was the second son of Rory Mor Macleod died 1626 and Isabel, daughter of Donald Macdonell, 8th of Glengarry. Along with his brother, Sir Norman Macleod of Bernera, he was knighted in 1661 for his services to the royalist cause. He married first a daughter of Lord Reay and secondly Mary, daughter of Lachlan Og Mackinnon of Mackinnon. In 1825, Hugh MacAskill took over the Talisker estate and completed the clearance process begun under his predecessor. Five years later, he founded the Talisker distillery, which is in fact located some 5 miles from Talisker at Carbost, Loch Harport. MacAskill gave up his lease of the Talisker lands in 1849.
