Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive.

A very familiar quote from Sir Walter Scott's epic poem Marmion, which ends with the Battle of Flodden.

Everyone is welcome to attend a short Flodden Memorial Service tonight at St Paul's Church, Branxton.
There will be prayers for peace in the world, forgiveness and reconciliation. Light a candle during the service and add your own silent prayer for peace.

Why not join me for a couple of hours on a Tuesday afternoon in May for a tour of Flodden Battlefield? The paths are looking much less soggy, there are busy farmers doing their thing and relaxing birdsong to enjoy. The history is quite good too.

The Hirsel is a wonderful place to capture the essence of the new season. Looking fantastic as Spring shakes off the frosty mornings - wonderful woodland walks and coffee shop.
The Hirsel is a later residence of the Home family as Alexander, 3rd Lord Hume would have ridden to Flodden from nearby Hume Castle.

Happy history fans.....even in the rain and mud. Standing close to where we believe King James IV was killed on 9th September 1513. www.floddenguidedwalks.co.uk #flodden #floddenbattlefield #flodden1513 #floddenfield #battlefield #battleofflodden #battlefieldtours #battlefieldwalks #northumberland #northnorthumberland #northumberlandhistory #northumberlandheritage #visitnorthumberland #scottishborders #visitscotland #scottishhistory #kingjamesivofscotland #fordandetal #branxton

It was because of the Scottish reformation that James IV's widow, Margaret Tudor, would not be able to rest in peace. Queen Margaret died on 18th October 1541 and was buried at the Carthusian Priory of Perth Charterhouse. However, an anti idolatry sermon preached by John Knox on 11th May 1559 in St John's Kirk sent the local parishioners into a destructive frenzy. They destroyed Margaret's tomb and burned her remains. John Knox's tenuous link to Flodden is that his first wife came from Norham, where her father was constable of the castle. www.floddenguidedwalks.co.uk #perth #stjohnskirk #perthcharterhouse #margarettudor #queenofscots #thetudors #flodden #flodden1513 #floddenbattlefield #floddenfield #battleofflodden #battlefieldtours #battlefield #battlefieldwalk #northnorthumberland #norham #norhamcastle #johnknox #scottishreformation #northumberlandandhistory #northumberlandheritage #northumberland #scottishborders #scottishhistory #perthshire #visitnorthumberland #fordandetal #guidedwalks
