Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn Tuesday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a colourful and much loved Blue Tit bird spotted eating on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The blue tit bird is identified by its colourful plumage. Blue tit’s wings, tail and crown are bright blue and their other defining features include a yellow breast, green shading on their back, white cheeks, a single white wing bar, and prominent black stripes on the eyes, bib and collar. Although the female and male are nearly indistinguishable, the female is slightly paler. Juveniles can be distinguished from adults as their colouring is more green than blue, and their cheeks are yellow rather than white. Blue tits are typically found in woodland areas, although they are well adapted to gardens and towns. They are very agile birds. The population of this species has flourished due to the increased availability of nest boxes and garden feeders. Blue tits can be observed in gardens eating at bird feeders or scavenging for food. Some of their favourite foods are insects, sunflower hearts, Mealworms, suet and peanuts. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings.

Scotsman Walking Wearing Kilt On Coast At Ardbeg On Autumn History Visit To Island Of Islay Scotland

Tour Scotland very short 4K Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking on the coast near the whisky distillery in Ardbeg on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Island of Islay, Britain, United Kingdom. The name Ardbeg is an Anglicization of the Scottish Gaelic An Àird Bheag, meaning The Small Promontory, which describes its location on Islay's southern coast. In the late 1800s, the village flourished around the whisky distillery, with a population that peaked at around 200 people. The distillery's owners provided housing for the 60 workers and their families, and the village had its own school for 100 students. The community's vibrancy faded when the distillery closed in 1981, causing job losses and emigration. After the distillery's revival in 1997, the community began to recover, though the population remains small. The first record of whisky, or whiskey, production at the site was in 1794, but it was an illicit operation. In 1815, John MacDougall obtained a commercial license, establishing the official Ardbeg distillery. The distillery grew steadily in the 19th century, with its peated malt highly sought after by blenders. By 1887, Ardbeg was the most productive distillery on Islay, employing 60 people. The Great Depression forced the distillery to close between 1932 and 1935. In 1981, Ardbeg was mothballed due to a slump in the whisky industry. It reopened briefly on a limited basis from 1989 to 1996 before shutting down once more. In 2004 the French luxury company Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) acquired Ardbeg as part of its purchase of Glenmorangie.
