Old Photograph Tower Knowe Hawick Scotland


Old photograph of Tower Knowe in Hawick, Borders Scotland. When the English entered Hawick in 1570 the inhabitants unthatched their houses, burnt the thatch in the streets and fled under cover of the smoke, which impeded the invaders. Nevertheless, the whole town was burnt.
