And in Celtic folklore the robin is known as the Oak King of Summer. The coal tit bird is mainly found in coniferous woodland, but can also be spotted in gardens and parks. Coal tits are active feeders, hunting out insects and spiders among the smaller branches and leaves of trees in woodlands. But they are also well adapted to gardens and towns and will visit bird tables and feeders. In winter, they form flocks with other tits, roaming woodlands and gardens. The coal tit is grey above and buff below, with white cheeks, a black cap and a white neck patch. Whether you live in town or country, you can help to look after garden birds by providing food and water for them. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings.

Tour Scotland short 4K Spring Thursday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a beautiful. sociable, black and white Magpie Bird spotted eating on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The magpie bird is one of our most familiar birds and the source of much myth and legend: '" ne for sorrow, two for a joy "is a rhyme that many children learn. Magpies are, in fact, small crows, and are omnivorous, feeding on carrion, invertebrates, and chicks and eggs. They are sociable birds and are often seen in small groups across many habitats, from gardens to parks, and heaths to hedges. The magpie is an unmistakeable long tailed bird. It is mainly black, with a white belly and white patches on the shoulders and wings. Folklore surrounds the magpie: from providing good luck when greeted, to being in league with the Devil, its ubiquitous presence has provided plenty of opportunities for stories. Many surround religion, including the belief that it didn't mourn with all the other birds at Christ's crucifixion, and that it refused to enter Noah's Ark, preferring to stay on the roof and swear for the whole journey.

Elgol, Scottish Gaelic: Ealaghol, is on the shores of Loch Scavaig towards the end of the Strathaird peninsula. According to tradition, its name derives from a battle fought with five ships by Aella, a follower of Vortigern, against the Picts and Scots. The Strathaird peninsula was historically a heartland of the Mackinnons, a robustly Jacobite clan. On 4 July 1746, the Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Young Pretender, found sanctuary at Elgol in the course of his wanderings under the protection of Clan Mackinnon of Mackinnon and Captain John Mackinnon of Elgol. @tourscotland #scotland #music #skye #loch All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.

Old Military Bridge Over A River On History Visit To Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of an old military bridge over a river on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Scottish Highlands ,Britain, United Kingdom.The bridge was was built by Major William Caulfeild in the 1760s as part of the military road network. William Caulfeild rose from relative obscurity, albeit the grandson of a Viscount, to be one of the most important figures in the history of the road network in the Scottish Highlands. In 1732 he was appointed as inspector of roads under General George Wade, and so responsible for the military road network that Wade had instigated in the Scottish Highlands. He remained in post until his death in 1767, his legacy seeing somewhere around 700 miles of road built and over 600 bridges. Some of the main roads which Caulfeild was responsible for include: the road from Stirling to Fort William, now followed by the A84, A85 and A82; a number of routes across Argyll, inluding the Loch Lomond section of the A82, the Rest and be Thankful and the A819 route; the road out to Glenelg, now followed by the A87, including the Mam Ratagan Pass; the road north through the Cairngorms to Fort George. The Irish name Caulfeild has been taken as synonym for many other names. The Gaelic form of the name Caulfeild was generally Mac Cathmhaoil. The name Caulfield was used by people of the Irish names O Gamhna, O Caibheanaigh and Mac Conghamhna, and Mac Carrghamhna. The Anglicized form of these last four Irish surnames is Gaffney, but for some obscure reason, this has often been changed to Caulfield. The surname Caulfeild was first found in Fermanagh, Irish: Fear Manach, in the southwestern part of Northern Ireland, Province of Ulster, where they held a family seat from ancient times. They were directly descended from King Colla da Crioch through the Maguires, Princes of Fermanagh.
