EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by CM Dixon captures the picturesque Carter Bar on A68, marking the border between England and Scotland in the 1960s. Known for its scenic beauty, this location served as a popular route between Newcastle and Edinburgh. The image transports us back to a time when vibrant colors adorned the landscape, emphasizing the natural splendor of this borderland. Carter Bar holds historical significance as it witnessed one of the final large-scale battles between English and Scottish forces in 1575 - known as the Raid of Redeswire. This clash symbolized centuries-old tensions that defined their shared history. The photograph showcases a road sign with bold lettering, guiding travelers through this enchanting countryside. A van parked nearby adds an element of everyday life amidst such historic surroundings. Western script alongside English text reminds us of cultural diversity within these lands. CM Dixon's skillful composition allows viewers to immerse themselves in this tranquil scene where nature seamlessly blends with human activity. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic appeal but also its deeper connection to war-torn narratives that shaped both nations' identities throughout history. Appreciating heritage is vital; therefore, it is essential to acknowledge that commercial use should not overshadow our admiration for such remarkable artwork like Mike Dixon's capture at Carter Bar on A68.
