Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and Sporran and walking by Castle Haven Dun Circle on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to the coast of Dumfries and Galloway, Britain, United Kingdom. It is a fortified Iron Age homesteadd ating back roughly 2,000 years, it stands as a highly unique archaeological site because it is the only known galleried dun in the entire Galloway region. This architectural style, featuring thick drystone walls containing hollow internal passages or galleries, is common to Argyll and the Western Isles, leading historians to believe it may have been built by northern migrants establishing a coastal trading post. Local tradition strongly associates the dun with Edward Balliol, a claimant to the Scottish throne in the 14th century. It is believed the site may have served as his final fortified refuge in Galloway during his mid1300s insurrection. 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
