Old Photograph Newtown St. Boswells Scotland
Old photograph of Newtown St. Boswells in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. Situated on the Bowden Burn, Newtown St Boswells is situated between the larger settlements of St Boswells to the South East and Melrose to the North West. Historically, Newtown St Boswells was a centre for milling grain, with watermills on its streams and rivers. It became a regional centre of communication and an exporter of livestock after the opening of its railway station. This importance has declined since the closure of the station in 1969. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
