Old Photograph Eccles Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and blacksmith in Eccles near Kelso, Scotland. The village is conjoined with Birgham and Leitholm. The principal landed proprietors in the vicinity of Eccles in 1696 appears to have been George Home of Kames and Simon Marjoribanks of Stainrig. In 1843 it was James Greig who resided at Eccles House, which abuts the village. Possibly the district's most famous son is Henry Home, Lord Kames.
