Old Photograph Traquair Scotland
Old photograph of cottages in Traquair village located two miles South of Innerleithen in the Borders of Scotland. The Duke of Montrose visited Traquair in 1645 after the Battle of Philiphaugh. Then Robert Burns came to Traquair in order to see a famous thicket of beech trees known as the Bush aboon Traquair.. In the early 18th century, Traquair boasted no less than six alehouses but the local minister stated the locals drank to excess. By the end of the century there was only one pub and the population was said to have halved during that century.
