Tour Scotland Photograph Video Marriage Lintel Newburgh Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of a Marriage Lintel in Newburgh, Fife, Scotland. Located at 60 High Street Newburgh, this marriage stone records the marriage of Thomas Anderson and Janet Williamson in 1759. It is a beautiful, and well preserved, example of a Scottish marriage lintel. These stones served as a record of a marriage, especially important in aristocratic families and also sometimes practised amongst the newly established middle classes. They were sometimes added to a building which was constructed specifically as the new family home for the married couple, especially when the dowry was large, or were carved into a pre-existing lintel. The stones also clearly indicated the ownership of the building to onlookers at the time as well as serving as a record for posterity of both marital bliss and often also of social advancement.

Tour Scotland Photographs Lindores Abbey Newburgh North Fife March 11th

Tour Scotland photograph shot today of Lindores Abbey by Newburgh, Fife, Scotland. Perhaps the most important and historic event ever witnessed at Lindores Abbey was the meeting here in 1306 of three puissant knights, Sir Gilbert Hay of Errol, Sir Neil Campbell of Lochaw, and Sir Alexander Seton, and the sealing before the high altar of the vow they made to " defend the King Robert Bruce and his crown to the last of their blood and fortunes. " William Wallace was also here when he stole hither out of Black Earnside Wood for water for his wounded men. And in Newburgh tradition, the Clatchard Craig, which faces the Abbey with a sheer cliff of two hundred feet, is pointed to as the stone whereon he whetted his great two-handed sword !

Tour Scotland Photograph Quartermaster Sergeant Gravestone Newburgh Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of a Quartermaster Sergeant Gravestone in the cemetery in Newburgh, Fife, Scotland. In memory of John Robertson, formerly Quartermaster Sergeant, 26th Regiment of Foot, who died at Mount Pleasant, 28th October, 1894, aged 89. The 26th Cameronian Regiment of Foot was an Scottish infantry regiment of the British Army, active from 1688 to 1881. Although the regiment took the name of its first colonel as The Earl of Angus's Regiment, it became popularly known as The Cameronians until 1751, when it was ranked as the 26th Foot. In 1881, it merged with the 90th Regiment of Foot Perthshire Volunteers to form the Cameronians Scottish Rifles. The Cameronians were themselves disbanded in 1968, meaning that no Army unit today perpetuates the lineage of the 26th Foot.
