Old Photograph Toll House Lamberton Scotland
Old photograph of the Toll House in Lamberton in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. The now demolished Old Toll House at Lamberton, situated just across the border in Scotland, was notorious for its irregular marriages. From 1798 to 1858 keepers of the Toll, as well as questionable men of the cloth used to marry couples in the same fashion as at the more familiar Gretna Green. The now ruined Lamberton Kirk was the church where, in July 1503, Margaret Tudor the daughter of King Henry VII of England, met the representatives of King James IV of Scotland, and traditionally is said to have married him by proxy, thus leading to the eventual succession of James VI to the English throne.
