Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and Sporran and walking by trees and Dalcairney Waterfalls on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to East Ayrshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Historically known as Dalcairnie Linn and tumbling over a moss draped sandstone ledge into a tranquil rock walled basin below, the falls serve as a prominent natural highlight of the historic Craigengillan Estate. The estate was the ancestral home of the family that produced John Loudon McAdam, the famous industrial engineer who invented, macadamisation, the precursor to modern tarmac roads. He famously tested some of his earliest road laying techniques right on the estate's tracks. The falls are fed by the Dalcairney Burn, which flows into the River Doon network. This specific river holds an important place in Scottish cultural history as the primary landscape that inspired Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns. Burns stayed at Craigengillan in 1786 and went on to immortalise the surrounding river system in his famous 1791 poem, The Banks o' Doon. 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.
