Coldingham & St. Abbs, Scottish Borders
A short video made during a trip to two coastal villages in south east Scotland
Coldingham, lies about 1 mile inland and has a Priory dating back to 660AD, but was rebuilt to its present form in 1855.
Nearby St. Abbs is a small fishing village on the east coast, and its waters are recognised internationally as a venue for scuba diving.

Coldingham Talks: Chris Bowles
Chris Bowles, Archaeology Officer for Scottish Borders Council, joins us to talk about Princess Aebbe and her monastery.
Scotish Borders Coast
A man investigates the site of a pivotal moment in World War 1, then looks at a largely forgotten, but hugely important religious site. All amidst the beautiful countryside of St Abbs / Coldingham.
The Holy Isle, England
Our quick (windy) visit to the Holy Isle, Lindisfarne (where the Book of Kells was written), Yorkshire Pudding in Alnwick (where Harry Potter was filmed), and the cosy cottage we stayed in in Coldingham, Scotland.
Why did King Oswald choose Lindisfarne?
DigVentures is back on Lindisfarne, investigating the remains of the iconic coastal Anglo-Saxon monastery that was so famously attacked by Vikings in AD 793. It was originally founded by King Oswald of Northumbria just 160 years earlier. So why did he choose this location? How much did its coastal location matter to the Anglo-Saxon monks who lived here? And what archaeological evidence do we have to prove it?

DigVentures' hunt for Princess Aebbe's monastery continues. Today, the team are in Trench 7, excavating several features that *might* be medieval.

Elizabeth Lumsden Miller Memorial Window Carriden Parish Church Bo'ness Scotland
Tour Scotland video of the Elizabeth Lumsden Miller Memorial stained glass window in Carriden Parish Church in Bo'ness, West Lothian. Recorded in several spellings including Lumsden, Lumsdaine, and Lumsdon, this is a Scottish locational surname. which originates from a place called Lumsden in the parish of Coldingham, Berwickshire. The name derives from the Olde English pre 7th century lumm meaning a pool, plus denu a valley. In an early Calendar of Documents relating to Scotland, reference is made to an Adam de Lummesdene of Berwickshire who rendered homage in 1296. In the early half of the 14th century a branch of the Lumsden family acquired land in Fife and in Aberdeenshire, near Aberdeen to which they gave their family name, whilst John de Lummysden witnessed a charter by Duncan, earl of Fife in 1335. An interesting name bearer was Sir Harry Burnett Lumsden, born 1821, died 1896, lieutenant general of the British army, and who served for many years in India. He introduced the khaki uniform into the Indian army, and it was subsequently adopted throughout the forces at the end of the 19th century. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Gillem de Lumisden. this was dated circa 1166, when he witnessed a charter by the earl of Dunbar to the Priory of Coldingham. This was during the reign of King William, the Lion, of Scotland.
St Andrew's Tower, Peebles, Scotland
St Andrew's Tower, Peebles, The Borders, Scotland.
The oldest building in Peebles is the tower of St Andrew's Church. The church was founded in 1195. It was destroyed (along with many other Borders abbeys and priories) by the soldiers of Henry VIII. The stones of the ruins were pilfered for many other local buildings leaving only the tower standing amongst the gravestone of the churchyard. Another ancient church in the town is the Cross Kirk, founded in 1261. Although now mainly ruins, the Cross Kirk plays a prominent part in the local festival.

Vlog 22 - Adventures in Eyemouth - Mustangs & Smugglers
Vlog 22 - Adventures in Eyemouth - Mustangs & Smugglers is part of my behind the scenes, working on the BBC content channel, antiques road trip. I travel all over the country and when the opportunity takes me, I shoot some historical visits, aerial content and some nice classic cars.
This visit was in Eyemouth and in particular, Gunsgreen House. This John Adam house was built in 1753 with a plethora of fascinating secrets. Today it is a historic house, visitor attraction, and self-catering accommodation.
Built by local smuggler and merchant John Nisbet in the 1750s, Gunsgreen House was described in the eighteenth century as a splendid palace built by a smuggler.
Eyemouth was a hotbed of the smuggling trade, with John Nisbet at the centre and explore the vaulted cellars where he kept his goods, both honestly traded and otherwise!

Chillingham's Wild Cattle - Insights into their Behaviour and History
The only truly wild cattle in the world that have lived at Chillingham for around 800 years without any breeding with other domesticated cattle. They exhibit behaviours that modern cattle have lost and have the appearance and size of medieval cattle. The bulls have highly unusual vocalisations and a tendency to coat themselves in mud!

ROBERT II of SCOTLAND - WikiVidi Documentary
Robert II reigned as King of Scots from 1371 to his death as the first monarch of the House of Stewart. He was the son of Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland and of Marjorie Bruce, daughter of the Scottish king Robert the Bruce by his first wife Isabella of Mar. Edward Bruce, younger brother of Robert the Bruce, was named heir to the throne, but he died without legitimate children on 3 December 1318 in a battle near Dundalk in Ireland. Marjorie by this time had died in a riding accident – probably in 1317. Parliament decreed her infant son, Robert Stewart, as heir presumptive,, but this lapsed on 5 March 1324 on the birth of a son, David, to King Robert and his second wife, Elizabeth de Burgh. Robert Stewart inherited the title of High Steward of Scotland on his father's death on 9 April 1326, and a Parliament held in July 1326 confirmed the young Steward as heir should Prince David die without a successor.

What do Anglo-Saxon buildings look like to archaeologists?
This year at Lindisfarne, we are continuing to uncover the remains of a possible Anglo Saxon building. We have worked stone and a possible wall, but how do we know who put them there and when? Chris and Josh discuss Anglo Saxon buildings and how to know when you've found one.
Saint Cuthbert of Lindisfarne
#orthodoxsaints
Saint Cuthbert was born in Britain about the year 635, and became a monk in his youth at the monastery of Melrose by the River Tweed. After many years of struggle as a true priest of Christ, in the service both of his own brethren and of the neglected Christians of isolated country villages, he became a solitary on Farne Island in 676. After some years as a hermit, he was constrained to leave his quiet to become Bishop of Lindisfarne, in which office he served for almost two years. He returned to his hermitage two months before he reposed in peace in 687. Because of the miracles he wrought both during his life and at his tomb after his death, he is called the Wonderworker of Britain.
Cuthbert (c. 634 – 20 March 687) is a saint of the early Northumbrian church in the Celtic tradition. He was a monk, bishop and hermit, associated with the monasteries of Melrose and Lindisfarne in what might loosely be termed the Kingdom of Northumbria, in North East England[ and the South East of Scotland. After his death he became one of the most important medieval saints of Northern England, with a cult centred on his tomb at Durham Cathedral. Cuthbert is regarded as the patron saint of Northern England.
