I bought an old fishing book recently and it had this picture in it. Apart from the view of the River Tweed it was the pairs of Clydesdales ploughing the field I really liked to see. Working horses survived in Scotland until the early fifties, there was a brewery behind our house in Edinburgh and they used the big horses for all deliveries when I was young, so was the delivery of milk although not by Clydesdales. I had a part time job helping the milkman, all we did was deliver the milk - the horse knew the round and got on with it.
It doesn't seem a long time ago to me.
