Tour Scotland very short 4K early Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and and Sporran and walking on Skaw Beach on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of the North East peninsula of Unst, Shetland Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. The name Skaw derives from the Old Norse word Skagi, which means a cape, headland, promontory, or peninsula, accurately describing its geographical placement. It is famous for being Britain's most northerly sandy beach. Situated in a remote, sweeping crescent facing the North Sea. Skaw was the home of Walter Sutherland, who died around 1850, widely cited as the last native speaker of Norn, an extinct North Germanic language once spoken across Shetland and Orkney. Due to its extreme northeast position, Skaw held immense strategic importance during the 20th century. During WWII, the Royal Air Force established a Chain Home radar station on the peninsula to detect incoming enemy aircraft. 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
