Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by trees and waterfalls ancestry on genealogy, family history visit and trip to a river in Glen Sannox, Isle of Arran, Britain, United Kingdom. The river cuts directly across the Highland Boundary Fault Zone, a major geological divide separating the Scottish Highlands from the Lowlands. Humans lived and built around the river for millennia before the glen became a walking trail. Prior to the 19th century, the hillsides beside the river supported a thriving Gaelic speaking farming community. In 1829, the 10th Duke of Hamilton cleared the thriving township of North Glen Sannox to convert the land into large commercial sheep farms. Over 100 evicted residents, many carrying family Bibles and spinning wheels, walked to Lamlash and Greenock to board ships for Canada. After a two month Atlantic crossing, 86 passengers from the brig Caledonia settled in Megantic County, Quebec, where they built a replica of their old Sannox church. In Arran folklore, the upper reaches of the glen near the pools and falls are said to be haunted by the Blue Man of the Glen a spectral figure tied to local storytelling.
