Tower In Country
July 1926: Orchardton Tower near Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway (Kirkcudbrightshire). There is evidence of an Iron Age settlement on artificial islands in Carlingwark Loch at Castle Douglas but the town as it is today was founded in 1789 by a Scotsman, William Douglas, who had made his fortune in America and returned to make Castle Douglas a successful cattle market town.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the picturesque countryside of Scotland in July 1926. The focal point is the magnificent Orchardton Tower, standing tall near Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway. Its ancient charm hints at a rich history that dates back to the Iron Age. The region surrounding Castle Douglas holds evidence of an Iron Age settlement on artificial islands within Carlingwark Loch. However, it was not until 1789 that this quaint town as we see it today was established by William Douglas, a Scottish man who had amassed his fortune in America before returning home. His vision transformed Castle Douglas into a thriving cattle market town. Alfred Hind Robinson's expertly captured panoramic shot showcases the tower against a backdrop of rolling hills and serene landscapes. The monochromatic format adds depth and timelessness to the image, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance even more. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of Scotland's enduring beauty and its ability to seamlessly blend past with present. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's grandeur, leaving us captivated by its timeless allure.
