Old Photographs St Boswells Scotland

Old photograph of St Boswells in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. This Scottish village is known for being on the route of St Cuthbert's Way, a long distance footpath linking Melrose Abbey to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne off the Northumberland coast in north east England. The name commemorates Saint Boisil, an Abbot of Melrose. The village has an annual gypsy fair, originally a focus for the trade of horses. This fair once attracted Gypsies from most parts of Scotland, northern England and Ireland.
