EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Home Away From Home: Castle Milk, Lockerbie - A Haven for Orphans During World War II" Castle Milk, nestled in the picturesque town of Lockerbie, Dumfriesshire, holds a significant place in the annals of Scottish history. This enchanting castle, with its distinctive turrets and sprawling grounds, served as a beacon of hope and care during the darkest days of the Second World War. In the late 1930s, as the looming threat of war cast its shadow over Europe, the British government and various charitable organizations, including Barnardos, began making preparations for the evacuation of children from urban areas to ensure their safety. Castle Milk, along with several other properties in the area, was repurposed as an evacuation home. The photograph captures a moment in time, as children, their faces filled with curiosity and wonder, gather around a table for their education. The castle, once a symbol of grandeur and nobility, now stands as a testament to the power of community and the unwavering commitment of those who dedicated their lives to the welfare of the most vulnerable. The children, dressed in their best, eagerly engage in their lessons, their eyes reflecting the hope and determination that defined their spirit. The castle, with its warm, inviting atmosphere, provided them with a sense of security and normalcy amidst the chaos of war. This image encapsulates the resilience and fortitude of the human spirit, as well as the importance of care and education in times of crisis. The legacy of Castle Milk continues to inspire us today, reminding us of the power of community and the indomitable spirit of the children who called it home during the Second World War.
