Légende

Col. Gardiner's house, and field of Prestonpans, 1845. The house Colonel James Gardiner, a Scottish soldier who fought in the British Army and was mortally wounded by the Highlanders at the Battle of Prestonpans in 1745. 'A century ago Prestonpans was the scene of a sanguinary onslaught; now it is the residence of a contented and hard working population, who, engaged in manufactures, are useful to their fellow-creatures, live quietly and die in their beds. Happily what is true of Prestonpans is also true of the entire island of which it forms so very small a part'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
