Scotsman Walking Wearing Kilt By Celtic Cross On Summer History Visit To Glencoe Highlands Scotland

Tour Scotland very short 4K Summer travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by a Celtic Cross on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Glencoe, Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. The most famous Celtic cross in the area is a poignant tribute tucked away in a quiet spot near the river in Upper Carnoch which commemorates the infamous Glencoe Massacre of 13 February 1692. During this event, government soldiers under the Earl of Argyll's regiment broke the rules of Highland hospitality to slaughter MacIain, the Chief of the Macdonalds of Glencoe, and 37 of his clansmen. The glen is sometimes poetically referred to as The Weeping Glen, although the Glencoe name was already in place well before the time of the massacre, as the Gaelic Gleann Comhann, the Comhann element of which may predate the Gaelic language, its meaning being uncertain. 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.
