Old travel Blog photograph of the South Road to Selkirk, Scottish Borders, Scotland. Selkirk owed its expansion in the mid nineteenth century to its mills and the workforce they required, but this period of industrial fervour lasted only a century. Selkirk men fought with William Wallace at Stirling Brig and Falkirk, and also with Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn. Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Marquess of Montrose and the Outlaw Murray all had connections with the town.
