Scotsman Walking Wearing Kilt By Bonnington Linn Waterfalls On History Visit To River Clyde Scotland A/B test

Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by trees and Bonnington Linn waterfalls on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to the River Clyde, South Lanarkshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The waterfall takes its name from the historic Bonnington Estate, which bordered the southern bank of the river. Although Bonnington House was later demolished, remnants of its 18th century designed landscape remain visible along the gorge trails. Local tradition links the gorge around Bonnington Linn to Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace. After killing the English Sheriff of Lanark in 1297, Wallace allegedly hid from pursuing troops in an inaccessible cliffside crevice known as Wallace’s Cave. Beginning in the 1700s, landowners at the Bonnington and Corehouse estates transformed the rugged riverbanks into a landscaped tourist attraction with winding paths. The falls became an essential stop on the Petit Tour of Britain. Artist Paul Sandby exhibited watercolours of Bonnington Linn in London in the early 1760s, among the first views of Scotland ever shown publicly in the capital.
