Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the interior of the Parish Church on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Ladykirk, Borders, Britain, United Kingdom. Ladykirk is a village on the B6470 in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, and the former Berwickshire, just north of the River Tweed and the Anglo Scottish border. The town was formerly known as Upsettlington, but King James IV of Scotland renamed the town Ladykirk; the church is also known as St Mary's Church or Kirk of Steill. In legend, the foundation of the church became associated with visits of King James IV to Lady Heron of Ford, and the defeat of the Scottish army at Flodden. Subsequently, the church was an important meeting place on the border between Scotland and England. The 15th century church and village are known as the place where a treaty supplemental to the Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis was signed by the English and Scottish commissioners. The Treaty of Upsettlington, May 1559, as it is known, was concluded within the Lady Kirk and exchanged at the church of Norham in England. The commissioners of Mary Queen of Scots and Francis II of France were the Earl of Morton, Alexander, Lord Hume, Henry Sinclair, Dean of Glasgow and James MacGill of Nether Rankeillour. The English commission included the Earl of Northumberland and the Bishop of Durham. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
