EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in the rural community of Town Yetholm, near Kelso and Coldstream in Roxburghshire, England. The image, taken in the 1910s, depicts a lively Foxhunt Meet, a traditional hunting event that has deep historical roots in the region. The scene is set in an open field, where hunters and their horses have gathered, dressed in their distinctive red coats and jodhpurs. The hounds, eager and excited, are tethered to posts, their noses twitching as they await the start of the hunt. The huntsman, standing tall on his horse, gives orders to his team, while the hounds bark and whine in anticipation. The landscape around them is picturesque, with rolling hills and verdant fields stretching out in every direction. The clear blue sky is dotted with white clouds, and the sun casts a warm glow over the scene. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and excitement, as the community comes together for this age-old tradition. Foxhunting has a rich history in the Scottish Borders, with the first recorded hunt taking place in the area in the 16th century. The sport was a way of life for many rural communities, providing a means of controlling the fox population and bringing people together. This photograph is a reminder of that history, and the strong sense of community that continues to thrive in the region today. Despite the controversy surrounding foxhunting in modern times, this image offers a glimpse into a past where the hunt was an integral part of rural life. It is a reminder of the traditions and customs that have shaped the communities of Town Yetholm, Kelso, Coldstream, and Roxburghshire, and the enduring connection between people and the land.
