The village of Mallaig was founded in the 1840s, when Lord Lovat, owner of North Morar Estate, divided up the farm of Mallaigvaig into seventeen parcels of land and encouraged his tenants to move to the western part of the peninsula and turn to fishing as a way of life.[3] The population and local economy expanded rapidly in the 20th century with the arrival of the railway.[3]Ferries operated by Caledonian MacBrayne and Bruce Watt Sea Cruises sail from the port to Armadale on the Isle of Skye,Inverie in Knoydart, and to the isles of Rùm, Eigg, Muck, and Canna. Mallaig is the main commercial fishing port on the West Coast of Scotland, and during the 1960s was the busiest herring port in Europe.[3] Mallaig prided itself at that time on its famous traditionally smoked kippers but today only one traditional smokehouse remains, Jaffy's and Sons. Mallaig and the surrounding area is a popular area for holidays

Aloha Toorboy,

     Admit it, you were racing that car at 7 minutes!  Another great video!  The format with the text (with links) ahead of the video was very informative and has a very good place either above or below the video in the first post.  I am impressed that Gaelic is taught in schools to this day.  We actually have Hawaiian Language Immersion programs here.  We saved the language from extinction.

     I am sure Scotland is proud of you (they may just not know it yet!).

Aloha and Drone On!

Good job

Nice shots, we were there recently for the Ferry crossing to Skye

Unbeatable. Unless you go a wee bit faster once in a while. Cherry on the cake: Your shadow cachting the bird.

Another nice one and an excellent introduction, although my heart nearly stopped, I'm sure I read 'Lord Lucan' the first time round .

Such beautiful scenery, thank you for sharing. I like the composition with your shots.
