Old Photograph Steam Traction Engine Roxburgh Scotland

Old photograph of a steam traction engine in Roxburgh, Roxburghshire, Scottish Borders, Scotland. Roxburgh's significance lay in its position in the centre of some of Lowland Scotland's most agriculturally fertile areas, and its position upon the River Tweed, which allowed river transport of goods via the main seaport of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Its position also acted as a barrier to English invasion.
