Tour Scotland short 4K Summer Friday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of beautiful, sociable, black and white Magpie Birds 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.

Tour Scotland short 4K Summer travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking in Glen Rosa on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Island of Arran, Firth of Clyde, Britain, United Kingdom. Historically, the glen was heavily wooded, but overgrazing led to the disappearance of trees. During the 19th century, the Hamilton family initiated a program of forced evictions, leading to the depopulation of villages and emigration for many islanders. The Clearances were a period of forced removal of tenants from their homes across the Scottish Highlands and islands, including the Isle of Arran, during the 18th and 19th centuries. Evictions were often carried out with brutality, including using troops and burning homes to ensure tenants could not return. Many of the displaced people emigrated to Canada, America, Australia, and New Zealand, while others were forced into new coastal communities with little economic opportunity. The name has also been used for modern vessels, such as a decommissioned paddle steamer that served the Firth of Clyde, and a and passenger ferry named MV Glen Rosa.
