Tour Scotland 4K travel video with Scottish music, of old photography of Lothian, Britain, United Kingdom. Lothian, Scots: Lowden, Scottish Gaelic: Lodainn is a region of the Scottish Lowlands, lying between the southern shore of the Firth of Forth and the Lammermuir Hills and the Moorfoot Hills. The principal settlement is the Scottish capital, Edinburgh, while other significant towns include Livingston, Linlithgow, Bathgate, Queensferry, Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg, Penicuik, Musselburgh, Prestonpans, Tranent, North Berwick, Dunbar, Whitburn and Haddington. Historically, the term Lothian referred to a province encompassing most of what is now southeastern Scotland. In the 7th century it came under the control of the Anglian kingdom of Bernicia, the northern part of the later kingdom of Northumbria, but the Angles' grip on Lothian was quickly weakened following the Battle of Nechtansmere in which they were defeated by the Picts. Lothian was annexed to the Kingdom of Scotland around the 10th century. Subsequent Scottish history saw the region subdivided into three counties; Midlothian, East Lothian, and West Lothian, leading to the popular designation of the Lothians. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day, \enjoy a wee trip through these old photos and images.
