EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Arbirlot in Angus, Scotland, where we find the home and church of the renowned Scottish minister and social reformer, Thomas Guthrie (1803-1873). The photograph, taken in 1857, captures the essence of a bygone era, with the whitewashed buildings and lush greenery surrounding the scene. Thomas Guthrie, a man of deep faith and compassion, was a pivotal figure in Scottish social history. Born in the nearby village of Logie Pert, he studied theology at the University of Edinburgh before returning to Angus to serve as a minister. Guthrie's passion for social justice and his commitment to improving the lives of the poor and marginalized led him to establish the "Arbirlot Mission," which provided education, food, and shelter to those in need. The church, with its distinctive spire, stands proudly in the background, a testament to the strong spiritual foundation that Guthrie laid for his community. The adjoining manse, where Guthrie and his family resided, is situated to the left of the image. The garden, with its neatly tended rows, speaks to the hard work and dedication of the Guthrie family and the villagers who supported their mission. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man and the impact he had on his community. It serves as a reminder of the power of faith, compassion, and the relentless pursuit of social justice. The tranquil beauty of Arbirlot, as captured in this image, invites us to reflect on the past and the enduring legacy of Thomas Guthrie.
