Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by trees and Black Water of Dee on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Dumfries and Galloway, Britain, United Kingdom. The Black Water of Dee is the upper stretch of the River Dee in Galloway, south west Scotland, renowned for its dark, peat stained waters and its central role in the region's medieval and industrial history. The river originates at Loch Dee in the Galloway Hills and travels roughly 20 miles through Clatteringshaws Loch before joining the Water of Ken at Loch Ken. Below Loch Ken, the combined river continues southwards to Kirkcudbright and the Solway Firth. The river basin was a strategic corridor during the Scottish Wars of Independence, with the Battle of the River Dee fought nearby in 1308. The dark, moody landscape of the Black Water of Dee frequently inspired local Victorian author S. R. Crockett. He grew up near the river and featured it prominently in his Galloway tales, including his supernatural story A Cry Across the Black Water.
