Tour Scotland very short 4K Summer travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by gravestones and a Celtic Cross on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Keills Chapel, Knapdale, Argyll, Britain, United Kingdom. The chapel dates from the 13th century, but it’s thought that people began worshipping here in the 8th century. Keills Cross, here is a free standing, ring headed high cross, carved from blue slate that dates from the late 8th or early 9th century. The cross is carved on one side only. Four lions surround a central circular boss with St Michael represented above and a seated saint sitting below, at the top of the shaft. Below there are panels of interlaced decorations and leaf scrolls. What is perhaps most fascinating about this cross is that it was most likely made by a craftsman from Iona. 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
