Tour Scotland short 4K early Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and and Sporran and walking by Westside Church on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip the coast of Island of Westray, Orkney, Britain, United Kingdom. It is a roofless ruin right on the edge of the shore, surrounded by a historic kirkyard that remains in use today. Mentioned in the historic Orkneyinga Saga, the church was likely built around the mid 1100s by Haflidi Thorkelsson, a prominent figure whose Norse farm stood in the adjacent field. Despite being open to the elements, what remains showcases fine Romanesque architecture, including a surviving chancel arch, the original doorway, and an arched window.
