What is the central theme? I've already referenced who it's about, but introduce the tour.

Sure, so as we've been saying, this is the journey that Margaret Tudor undertook in the summer of 1503 as she headed north from London towards Scotland to marry, officially, James IV, King of Scots, and of course, as I say, create this union of sorts between the ever warring House of Tudor and Stuart.

And perhaps we'll come and talk a little bit more about that in a moment.

She traveled, of course, the length of the country from London through to Edinburgh.

So a very significant progress.

And I will use that word progress because it's easy.

but the wonderful thing about it is that this particular journey be probably because of its significance was recorded by a herald so we know a lot about where margaret stayed the places she lodged the people she traveled with some of the spectacle that took place along the way how she was greeted the kind of pageantry and festivity that went on so there's loads of detail and when i first came across this a few years ago um you know i love writing about progresses i've for several years now i've had a little bit of a a yearning to write about the full progress of of margaret to scotland and then of course now that we're running simply tutor tours um and we always look for a really strong story when we're putting our tools together this one really jumped out because we've got that fantastic combination of a really interesting figure that perhaps doesn't always figure in the spotlight but i I think yet people are very interested in her, very significant in terms of the history, of course, ultimately of the unification of Scotland and England as Britain, ultimately.

So talk to me about the history of Annick and why it was so significant as a stronghold for England.
