Scotsman Walking By The Coast On History Visit To Isle Of Skye Inner Hebrides Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of a Scotsman walking by the coast on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. Skye is almost 50 miles long, and its coastline is so deeply indented that no part is more than 5 miles rom the sea. Skye was occupied in prehistoric times and settled by Gaelic speaking Scots from Ireland. Norsemen ruled the island from the 9th to the 12th century. Thereafter, while the kingdom of Scotland claimed the island, the Lords of the Isles maintained independent control of the Hebrides until the 15th century. During the late 18th and early 19th centuries the poverty of the crofters was extreme, and large numbers were forced to emigrate. Sea fishing industry, once a mainstay of the economy, has declined, but commercial fish farming, particularly of salmon, is now an important part of the local economy.

Woodpecker Bird On Spring Friday Visit To My Cottage Garden Scone Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Spring Friday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a lovely Woodpecker Bird spotted drumming for food on afternoon visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire,Britain, United Kingdom. Woodpeckers are birds known for their distinctive drumming behaviour and chisel shaped beaks, which they use to excavate wood for food and nesting cavities, and they have adaptations like strong feet and stiff tail feathers to help them cling to trees. Great spotted woodpeckers can be seen in woodlands, especially with mature broad leaved trees, although mature conifers will support them. They can also be found in parks and large gardens. They will come to peanut and Suet feeders and bird tables. Not found in the far North of Scotland. Only a handful of pairs nest in Ireland, but numbers are increasing. Common in England and Wales. Legend says, if you ever see a red-headed woodpecker it will always move to the opposite side of the tree away from you because it is hiding in shame. People of varying spiritualities see a woodpecker as a friend when they're lonely. When one visits them, they gain inner strength to persevere through whatever challenges affect their daily lives. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March @tourscotland #spring #birds #scotland #shortsvideo #woodpecker #nature All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
