Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by a prehistoric Crow Stone on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Dumfries And Galloway, Britain, United Kingdom. It is a Neolithic or Bronze Age standing stone. In ancient Scottish lore, crows were known as the primary Birds of Battle. Due to their nature as clever scavengers, their presence over a field was seen as an omen of imminent bloodshed. This grim association is famously immortalised in the traditional Scottish ballad The Twa Corbies, The Two Crows, which narrates two crows discussing how they plan to dine on a fallen, forgotten knight. In Gaelic mythology, the Hooded Crow is closely linked to the Cailleach Bhéara, the ancient hag goddess of winter and creation. She was said to manifest as a great hooded crow, wielding shape-shifting powers that connected the birds directly to witchcraft and the supernatural world. The history of northern and island Scotland such as Shetland and Orkney is heavily tied to Viking history. Norsemen flew the magical Raven Banner during battles across Scottish territories. The banner was believed to grant victory to the army carrying it, though the individual bearer was often fated to die. Of interesr 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.
