Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video of a cloudy weather afternoon road trip drive, with Scottish accordion music, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Lindores in North Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Lindores is a small village in the parish of Abdie, about 2 miles South East of Newburgh. Traces of an ancient castle, thought to have belonged to Macduff, Thane of Fife, have been found at the eastern end of the village. The battle of Black Irnsyde, at which William Wallace defeated Aymer de Valence, the 2nd Earl of Pembroke, is claimed to have been fought near the village. Aymer de Valence, born 1270, died 23 June 1324, was an Anglo French nobleman. Though primarily active in England, he also had strong connections with the French royal house. One of the wealthiest and most powerful men of his age, he was a central player in the conflicts between Edward II of England and his nobility, particularly Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster. Pembroke was married twice, and left no legitimate issue, though he did have a bastard son. He is today remembered primarily through his wife Marie de St Pol's foundation of Pembroke College, Cambridge, and for his splendid tomb that can still be seen in Westminster Abbey. England and was also an important figure in the Wars of Scottish Independence. Lindores had a station on the Newburgh and North Fife Railway which was open to passengers between 1909 and 1951. The railway has since been lifted. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
