Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by cliffs on Dale of Walls Beach on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of Western mainland, Shetland Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. Facing directly into the raw power of the Atlantic Ocean it has a unique landscape and historical background. During the 19th century, Dale of Walls served as a vibrant summer Haaf, deep water fishing station. Fishermen would gather here during the summer months to launch open sixareen boats into the treacherous Atlantic waters to long line for cod, ling, and tusk. The ruins of some stone structures near the shore were originally seasonal lodges where the crews slept and cured their catch during the fishing season. Because it is exposed to the full, unfiltered force of incoming Atlantic breakers, the sea has violently tossed and piled large, bright pebbles and shingle metres high along the shoreline. 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. Meteorological Autumn or Fall is different from standard and astronomical Autumn and begins September 1 and ends November 30
