EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the quaint village of Middleton in Midlothian, Scotland, comes to life as the mist lifts from the valley, revealing the picturesque scene before us. Nestled among the rolling hills and lush greenery, the village church, or kirk, stands proudly at its heart. To the right, the imposing silhouette of Borthwick Castle rises majestically against the sky, a testament to Scotland's rich history. Borthwick Castle, a 15th-century fortress, holds a significant place in Scottish history. It was here that Mary Queen of Scots and her third husband, the Earl of Bothwell, made their retreat following the controversial abduction and marriage of the queen in 1567. The castle's grand halls and secret passages would have provided a sanctuary for the embattled monarch, who would later be imprisoned and eventually executed. The village of Middleton, with its ancient kirk and the historic Borthwick Castle, offers a glimpse into Scotland's past. This scene, captured in the 1960s, transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the lives of those who once called this place home. The castle's walls, now weathered and worn, still hold stories of love, power, and intrigue, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and travelers alike. As the sun begins to rise, casting a warm glow over the landscape, the village comes alive with the sounds of birds singing and the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze. The serene beauty of Middleton and Borthwick Castle stands as a reminder of Scotland's rich heritage and the enduring allure of its history.
