Tour Scotland very short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking on Whaligoe Steps during storm waves on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of Caithness Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. The Whaligoe Steps are a dramatic, hand-carved staircase of around 330 to 365 stone steps cut into the cliffs of Caithness. Built around the 1790s, possibly by Captain David Brodie, to access the natural Whaligoe Haven, a narrow inlet deemed unsuitable by engineer Thomas Telford. Whaligoe word likely comes from Norse words for "whale " and " inlet. " Of Anglo Norman origin, the Sinclairs became the undisputed rulers and Earls of Caithness from the late Middle Ages onward. They established major strongholds along the steep sea cliffs of the region. One of the oldest northern clans, the Gunns claim direct descent from Norse Viking adventurers, specifically Gunni, a grandson of the famous Viking Sweyn Asleifsson. They were renowned for their fierce fighting spirit and held lands in both Caithness and neighboring Sutherland.
