What is recorded here
Lamberton is a hilly Berwickshire estate where Margaret Tudor met James IV in 1503, sealing the union that placed James VI and I on the English throne. Renton ancestors have held the land since the thirteenth century, and their bones still lie beneath the ruined kirk where that marriage was celebrated. The moor where English and Scottish knights tournamented for the bride remains visible from the A1, four miles north of Berwick.

Lamberton Castle, a medieval tower house in Scotland, was built by the Lamberton family, a prominent noble lineage with historical ties to the Scottish court, likely in the late 14th or early 15th century. It is remembered for its strategic location and as a symbol of the family's influence during the medieval period.
