EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from The Northcliffe Collection takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the historic Hawick Common Riding of 1947. The image beautifully captures the essence of this cherished Scottish tradition, showcasing a procession of majestic horses making their way through St Leonard's. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where towns like Hawick were steeped in rich history and vibrant customs. The scene exudes a sense of pride and reverence as locals gather to partake in age-old rituals that have been passed down through generations. The monochromatic tones lend an air of authenticity, allowing us to truly appreciate the timeless beauty that lies within these traditions. It is impossible not to be captivated by the solemn expressions on the faces of those present, as they bear witness to a ceremony deeply rooted in their heritage. In particular, our attention is drawn towards one specific moment - when participants indulge in a dish of curds and cream at St Leonard's. This simple act symbolizes unity and community spirit, reminding us of how important it is for societies to come together during times both joyous and challenging. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that while time may pass and landscapes may change, certain traditions remain steadfast pillars connecting us with our past.
