Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by trees and Saint Molaise Cave on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to the coast of Holy Isle, Britain, United Kingdom. Born around 566 AD as Laisrén, later prefixed with mo, meaning my, Molaise was the son of Cairell, King of Ulster, and the Scottish princess Gemma. Raised in Scotland, he declined the throne of Ulster when he came of age, choosing instead to live an ascetic life as a religious hermit. Molaise settled in the natural sandstone cave on Holy Isle, an island already regarded as a spiritual site and formerly known as Inis Shroin, Island of the Water Spirit. Because of his stay, the island became known in Gaelic as Eilean Molaise, Molaise's Island, which eventually evolved into the name of the nearby Arran village of Lamlash. Around 600 AD, Molaise left the cave to make a pilgrimage to Rome, where he was ordained by Pope Gregory the Great. He later became abbot of the monastery at Old Leighlin in Ireland, where he played a major role in adopting the Roman Church's method for calculating the date of Easter. 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.
