Scotsman Walking Wearing Kilt By Stone of Setter On History Visit To Eday Island Orkney Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K early Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and and Sporran and walking by the Neolithic Stone of Setter on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Eday Island, Orkney, Britain, United Kingdom. The tall standing stone dates to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, around the 2nd millennium BC. It is cut from a single piece of local ruddy red sandstone. Because sandstone is relatively soft, thousands of years of harsh Scottish weather have heavily eroded it, leaving deep, vertical furrowed lines across its surface. Depending on your angle, its weathered silhouette transforms: from the front, it looks like a giant hand reaching up from the earth, while from the side, it resembles a cloaked figure staring across the landscape. The monolith stands in its original prehistoric placement on the northern end of Eday. It sits on a small saddle of land overlooking the Calf Sound and the Mill Loch valley. 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.
