Old Photograph Hutton Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and houses in Hutton, Berwickshire, Scotland. This Scottish village is located one mile west of Paxton and two miles west of the border with Northumberland. Its closest market towns are Duns and Berwick-upon-Tweed. When the false warning of Napoleon's invasion in 1804 was sent out from the beacon station at Hume Castle, the volunteers from the area made Hutton their rallying point, and spent a night under arms in the old church. In more recent history it became popular with Polish soldiers after they were posted in nearby Winfield in World War II, after which some stayed to live in the village.
