Tour Scotland Video Photographs Smirisary near Glenuig Moidart

Tour Scotland travel video Blog of photography of Smirisary near Glenuig on ancestry, genealogy history visit and trip to Moidart. This was a Scottish crofting village until its abandonment after the second world war. The area has been inhabited for thousands of years and the traces of these earlier residents are everywhere around. The coastal regions here are wild and rocky, but because of the warmer climate within the last two thousand years the inland areas were productive and heavily populated. In the last two hundred years, the population declined through enforced clearances of the glens for sheep and voluntary emigration from the harsher coastal regions to the new colonies, particularly Cape Breton, Canada, and America.

Tour Scotland Video Photographs Soldier's Leap Killiecrankie Highland Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of photographs of the Soldier's Leap at the Pass of Killiecrankie on ancestry visit to Highland Perthshire, Scotland. The Battle of Killiecrankie, 27th of July 1689, was the first and most significant of the battles of the first Jacobite rebellion. Although it was an important victory for the Jacobites, it also resulted in the death of the rebel leader, Viscount Dundee, a major factor in the subsequent collapse of the uprising. Donald MacBean, one of William III of England's supporters, on seeing the battle was lost, is said to have cleared the gorge, from one bank to the other, at The Soldier's Leap. The battlefield has been included in the Inventory of Historic Battlefields in Scotland and protected by Historic Scotland under the Scottish Historical Environment Policy.
