Scotsman Walking Wearing Kilt By Parish Church On History Visit To Tarbat Peninsula Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K early Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman walking wearing a Kilt and Sporran by a Parish Church on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Tarbat Peninsula, Britain, United Kingdom. The site's Christian origins began around 550 AD with the establishment of a high ranking Pictish monastery, possibly founded by Saint Columba or Saint Colmac. Around 800 AD, the monastery was violently destroyed by fire, an event highly consistent with early Viking raids. Following the destruction of the monastery, the site was reoccupied as a trade and metalworking settlement serving the Norse Scottish wars. By the early 12th century, the land transitioned back into religious use, becoming the formal Parish Church of St. Colman. The church was the backdrop to a notorious and bloody episode of Highland clan warfare. During a conflict known as the Battle of Tarbat, a raiding party from the Clan Mackay of Strathnaver was cornered inside the church by their rivals, the Clan Ross. The Mackays sought refuge in the vaulted crypt, but the Rosses set fire to the church above them, killing many of the trapped Mackays.
