Old Photographs Carlops Scotland

Old photograph of the church and cottages in Carlops, Scotland. A small Scottish village in the Pentland Hills, within the Scottish Borders. The village was founded in 1784 and developed cotton weaving, coalmining and limestone mining.. The name derives from Witches' Leap in Scots: Carlins Lowp, as near the south of the village there are two exposed rock faces about 20 metres in height facing each other with a similar distance between them. Folklore maintained that witches would leap from one face to the other, over the chasm, for entertainment of an evening.

At the nearby village of Cove, there is a small fishing harbour. The natural harbour was improved in 1831 by the building of a breakwater. Many fishermen lost their lives in the East Coast Fishing Disaster of 1881, and there is a memorial at the top of the cliffs.
