Old Photograph Cottages Nine Mile Burn Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Nine Mile Burn located two miles North of Carlops, Midlothian, Scotland. The name Carlops derives from Witches' Leap as near the South of the village there are two exposed rock faces about 20 metres in height facing each other with a similar distance between them. Folklore maintained that witches would leap from one face to the other, over the chasm, for entertainment of an evening.
