Scotsman Walking Wearing Kilt By The Doctor’s Bath On History Visit To Corrie Of Arran Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by the Doctor’s Bath ancestry on genealogy, family history visit and trip to the coast of Corrie, Isle of Arran, Britain, United Kingdom. Commissioned by a local physician named Doctor McCredy, also spelled McCreadie or McCreedy, it was built as a therapeutic facility to treat patients with cold seawater bathing. It is a man made, tide fed saltwater pool carved into the sandstone shoreline. Dr McCredy moved to Arran from the Scottish mainland shortly after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Like many 18th and 19th century physicians, he was a strong advocate of thalassotherapy, the belief that bathing in seawater could cure a wide range of physical and mental ailments. Beyond treating multiple patients simultaneously in the pool, Dr McCredy reportedly used the bath for his own daily cold-water plunges.
