Description

Hawick & District From Old Photographs is a fascinating look at the history of this Scottish town. Founded by Anglo-Norman settlers in the 12th century, Hawick's unique heritage has been shaped by its strategic location and turbulent past.

The town's rich cultural epoch began in 1514, when its young men were called to arms to defeat English raiders, an event still celebrated today through the annual Hawick Common Riding. The Industrial Revolution brought significant growth and innovation, but it was during this period that the earliest photographs of Hawick appeared.

This book brings to life the town's history through old photographs, revealing a wealth of talented photographers who have captured unique moments in local history. With 96 pages of images, Hawick & District From Old Photographs offers an insight into the past and a glimpse into the lives of those who lived and worked in this special place.
