Tour Scotland short 4K early Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and and Sporran and walking by Hailes Castle situated on the south bank of the River Tyne on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to East Lothian, Britain, United Kingdom. This Scottish castle was originally founded as a fortified tower house by Hugo de Gourlay before 1300, making it one of the oldest constructions of its kind in Scotland. The superiority of the lands was held by the Earls of Dunbar and March. The de Gourlays, a Northumbrian family, supported the English in the Wars of Independence, and their land was forfeited by order of the Scottish Crown. Hailes Castle and lands were then confirmed upon another Northumbrian, Sir Adam de Hepburn, who, in the reign of David II, had a charter of the lands of Traprain, and Southalls and Northalls, now united and called Hailes, in Haddingtonshire, as well as the lands of Mersingtoun, Cockburnspath, and Rollanstoun in Berwickshire.
