The place of coronation was called Caislean Credi, Hill of Credulity, which survives as the present Moot Hill. In the Middle Ages the mound was marked with a stone cross, but this disappeared probably at the Scottish Reformation in 1559, when the Abbey buildings were sacked by a mob from Dundee.

Trouble
Been doggin' my soul since the day I was born
Worry
Just will not seem to leave my mind alone
Well I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now

Trouble
Feels like every time I get back on my feet
She come around and knock me down again
Worry
Sometimes I swear it feels like this worry is my only friend
Well I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now

She good to me now
She gave me love and affection
She good to me now
She gave me love and affection
I said I love her
She's good to me
She's good to me

Tour Scotland Video Being Kissed By A Scottish Clydesdale Horse In Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of being kissed by a friendly Scottish Clydesdale horse near Loch Leven by the roadside on visit and trip to Fife on ancestry visit to Perthshire, Scotland. The Clydesdale is a breed of draught horse derived from the farm horses of Clydesdale, Scotland, and named after that region. Although originally one of the smaller breeds of draught horses, it is now a tall breed. Often bay in colour, they show significant white markings due to the presence of sabino genetics. The breed was originally used for agriculture and haulage, and is still used for draught purposes today. The Budweiser Clydesdales are some of the most famous Clydesdales, and other members of the breed are used as drum horses by the British Household Cavalry.

Tour Scotland Video Bagpiper Aaron Bryce St John's Kirk Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of of Bagpiper Aaron Bryce playing the pipes on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to St John's Kirk in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The burgh of Perth was important in medieval times due to its position as the lowest safe crossing point on the River Tay and its proximity to Scone, the Coronation site for Scottish kings. St John’s, the burgh church, stood at its centre giving Perth its alternative name St John’s Town, a name which lives on in that of the local football team, St Johnstone. Earliest written record of St John’s is 1128 when King David I ceded its revenue to the Abbey of Dunfermline in Fife, in return for which the Abbey provided a priest.

The surname Bryce is probably of Celtic origin. Bricius Judex is recorded in the Register of the Abbey of Aberbrothoc, Scotland, in 1189, and a Bricius de Kyrkebi was recorded in 12th Century Social and Economic Documents of London, England. There is an old Lennox family, of the name Bryce, Adam and John Bryce in Braco who were resettlers of outlawed members of Clan Gregor in 1613.
