Tour Scotland short 4K aerial Winter travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the House of the Holy Trinity on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the Borders, Britain, United Kingdom. This church was part of a complex comprising a hospital and a friary. The hospital was founded in 1164 by King Malcolm IV, when he granted it the lands of Brotherstanes up to and including the lands of Lyndean. The hospital was known as the House of the Holy Trinity, and was run by Augustinian Order and is believed to have been the largest hospital in medieval Scotland. The Great Seal of Scotland mentions Thomas Lauder, later Bishop of Dunkeld, Perthshire, as Master of the Hospital on 26 February 1439. Originally, the hospital was supported by the income from large monastic estates and contributions from wealthy patrons. Following the disgrace of Stephen Fleming, a Master of the Hospital, those estates entailed to the Hospital were confiscated by the Crown in the 1460s, and given to Trinity College Hospital in Edinburgh, leaving the establishment without income. The Hospital survived the Reformation and struggled on until the seventeenth century, but succumbed eventually.
