Tour Scotland short aerial 4K travel video clip, with Scottish bagpipes music, of Fortifications at Berwick Upon Tweed, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip from Scotland to England, Britain, United Kingdom. The town is just south of the Anglo Scottish border at the mouth of the River Tweed on the east coast, 56 miles South East of Edinburgh. For more than 400 years the area was central to historic border wars between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, and several times possession of Berwick changed hands between the two kingdoms. The last time it changed hands was when Richard of Gloucester retook it for England in 1482. Between the late 10th and early 11th centuries, the land between the rivers Forth and Tweed came under Scottish control, either through conquest by Scotland or through cession by England. Berwick was made a royal burgh by King David I. 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. @tourscotland
