Old Photograph Ladykirk Church Scotland

Old photograph of the church in Ladykirk, Berwickshire, Scotland. This Scottish church was originally dedicated as Our Lady Kirk of Steill, is said to have been built during the last years of the 1490s on the orders of King James IV of Scotland. On returning from the siege of Norham Castle in 1496, King James IV is said to have fallen from his horse into the Tweed. He attributed his survival to the intercession of the Virgin Mary. Ladykirk is a fine example of late Scottish Gothic architecture, grander than its location required because of its royal patronage, and now home to a bust of King James IV. It is one of the few stone roofed churches in Scotland.

Tour Scotland Autumn Video Sunnybrae Cottage Pitlochry Highland Perthshire

Tour Scotland Autumn video of Sunnybrae Cottage on ancestry visit to Pitlochry, Perthshire, Scotland. Once an inn, it was the scene in 1767 of a tragic accident involving cousins John Stewart of Bonskeid and Donald Stewart of Sheierglass. During a fight, Bonskeid was stabbed by Sheierglass' knife which was being used as cutlery during a meal. It is rumoured that, following the Highland belief that if a murderer could see light under their victims coffin, they would escape punishment, Shierglass hid until the funeral procession passed by, then fled to Holland where he stayed for many years before returning and settling back in Highland Perthshire.
