Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of a road trip drive on a narrow road, with Scottish bagpipes music, to the Parish Church on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Lundie in Angus Region, Britain, United Kingdom. This rural parish church, close to the suburbs of Dundee, dates to the 12th century, when it was dedicated to St Lawrence The Martyr. It was built on a small rise by the powerful Durward family who owned the surrounding land. Thomas de Lundin, also known as Thomas Durward, Scottish Gaelic: Tomhas Dorsair, was a 13th century Scottish nobleman. He took his name from Lundie in Angus. His father had married a daughter of Gille Críst, Earl of Mar. It was for this reason that, after the death of Gille Críst, Thomas challenged the right of his successor Donnchad. The dispute resulted in a division of the Earldom. Although Donnchad kept the title and most of the territory, Thomas and his family received much of the lowland part of the earldom in compensation. Thomas was the hostarius, meaning warden of the king's door: protecting the king's property, of King Alexander II of Scotland until his own death. It was for this reason that his descendants took the surname " Hostarius " or Durward. He married a daughter of Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl in Perthshire, and by her he sired at least two sons, Alan and Cailean. The surname Lundie was first found in Fife. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
