Tour Scotland short 4K Summer travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking in Glen Rosa on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Island of Arran, Firth of Clyde, Britain, United Kingdom. Historically, the glen was heavily wooded, but overgrazing led to the disappearance of trees. During the 19th century, the Hamilton family initiated a program of forced evictions, leading to the depopulation of villages and emigration for many islanders. The Clearances were a period of forced removal of tenants from their homes across the Scottish Highlands and islands, including the Isle of Arran, during the 18th and 19th centuries. Evictions were often carried out with brutality, including using troops and burning homes to ensure tenants could not return. Many of the displaced people emigrated to Canada, America, Australia, and New Zealand, while others were forced into new coastal communities with little economic opportunity. The name has also been used for modern vessels, such as a decommissioned paddle steamer that served the Firth of Clyde, and a and passenger ferry named MV Glen Rosa. 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. Summer in Scotland officially runs from June through August
