Tour Scotland short 4K Summer travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking on Brinkie’s Brae near Stromness on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Orkney Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. The name: Brinki stems from an old Icelandic or Old Norse word for a steep hill. Historically, it was known as Ward Hill, serving as a lookout point where beacon fires were lit to warn locals of impending danger. The hill heavily inspired the acclaimed Orkney poet George Mackay Brown, who authored the collection Under Brinkie's Brae. More recently, contemporary composer Erland Cooper famously buried a master tape of his music on the hill for three years as a conceptual collaboration with the earth. The brae has sweeping views of Scapa Flow. 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
