Tour Scotland 4K very short Summer evening travel video clip, of the sight and sounds of Loch Ness on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Scottish Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Loch Ness is a large, deep, freshwater loch extending for approximately 23 miles south west of Inverness. Loch Ness is thought by some to be the home of the Loch Ness Monster, commonly known as " Nessie ", a cryptid, reputedly a large unknown animal. It was almost 100 years ago that Aldie Mackay, manager of the Drumnadrochit hotel, burst into the bar one evening to tell dumbfounded patrons she had just witnessed a “ water beast ” in Loch Ness. It was his sighting that began the modern myth-making around an elusive monster surviving in the depths of the Highland loch. The MacKay surname was an Anglicized form of the Gaelic Mac Aodha from the word adoha which means fire as well as being the name of a pagan god. The surname MacKay was first found in Sutherland, Gaelic: Cataibh, a former county in northern Scotland. Spelling variations of this family and Clan name include: MacQuay, MacCay, MacQuey, MacQuoid, MacKaw, MacKy, MacKye, MacCoy, McQuay, McCoy and many more.
