EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quintessential charm of rural Scotland in the early 20th century. Taken in the picturesque village of Cummertrees, located near Annan in Dumfries-shire, this image transports us back in time to a simpler era. The village, nestled among lush green rolling hills and farmland, appears peaceful and idyllic, with its whitewashed cottages and winding cobblestone streets. The nearby Powfoot River, meandering through the landscape, adds to the tranquil atmosphere. The year is 1908, and the villagers of Cummertrees went about their daily lives, tending to their farms, attending to their livestock, and socializing with their neighbors. The children played in the streets, their laughter echoing through the village, while the adults worked tirelessly to maintain the community. The village, though small and isolated, was a close-knit one, with a strong sense of camaraderie and resilience. Despite the passage of time, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions of Scotland's rural communities. It invites us to reflect on the lives of those who came before us and to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of rural life. The Village of Cummertrees, with its timeless charm and enduring spirit, remains a cherished piece of Scotland's past.
