The Midlothian Kiln at Preston Hall, Scotland, on a bright autumn day. The image shows the historic, circular, stone oast house/kiln with its conical, terracotta-tiled roof, joined to a traditional stone farmhouse. The buildings are reflected in a small, reed-lined pond in the foreground, with warm autumnal tones in the surrounding foliage and a blue sky overhead.

Preston Mill, an 18th-century watermill in East Lothian, Scotland, known for its distinctive Dutch-style conical kiln roof. The historic stone buildings, with warm orange and brown tones, contrast against the golden fields and deep blue sky. A wooden waterwheel sits at the front, blending seamlessly with the rustic stonework. The mill, surrounded by lush countryside, was once a key part of Scotland’s rural industry. This location is also known for its connection to the TV series Outlander. In the background, traditional farmhouses and rolling fields extend into the horizon, capturing the peaceful essence of the Scottish countryside. The autumn trees add warm hues to the image, enhancing the tranquil yet historic atmosphere. The @journeydude branding is visible in the bottom right corner, linking the image to social media platforms. The setting sun casts a golden glow over the scene, highlighting the textures of the stone and the surrounding landscape.

Two Golden Retrievers sit in the sunshine under a beautifully blue sky speckled with clouds. They are facing opposite directions from each other and looking away from the camera. Behind them is the old Preston Mill.

Kirkbean Fairy Procession

On Hallowe'en, fairies beating drums would pass through Prestonmill on their way to Hangman Hill, where they would spend the night dancing.
