Tour Scotland Travel Video Of Old Photographs Of Lockerbie

Tour Scotland travel video of old photographs of Lockerbie, Scotland. A Scottish town in the Dumfries and Galloway region of Southern Scotland. This Scottish town is located approximately 75 miles from from Glasgow, and 20 miles from the border with England. Lockerbie apparently has existed since at least the days of Viking influence in this part of Scotland in the period around AD 900. The presence of the remains of a Roman camp a mile to the west of the town suggests its origins may be even earlier. Lockerbie first entered recorded history in the 1190s in a charter of Robert de Brus, 2nd Lord of Annandale, granting the lands of Lockerbie to Adam de Carlyle. It appears as Lokardebi in 1306. About two miles to the west of Lockerbie on 7 December 1593, Clan Johnstone fought Clan Maxwell at the Battle of Dryfe Sands. The Johnstones nearly exterminated the Maxwells involved in the battle. The town came to international attention in December 1988 when the wreckage of Pan Am Flight 103 crashed there following a terrorist bomb attack aboard the flight.
