Old Photograph Ladykirk Church Scotland
Old photograph of the church in Ladykirk, Berwickshire, Scotland. This Scottish church was originally dedicated as Our Lady Kirk of Steill, is said to have been built during the last years of the 1490s on the orders of King James IV of Scotland. On returning from the siege of Norham Castle in 1496, King James IV is said to have fallen from his horse into the Tweed. He attributed his survival to the intercession of the Virgin Mary. Ladykirk is a fine example of late Scottish Gothic architecture, grander than its location required because of its royal patronage, and now home to a bust of King James IV. It is one of the few stone roofed churches in Scotland.
