This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Mid Hill, located in the enchanting Cheviots region of Northumberland. The image showcases an enclosed settlement that has stood the test of time, with a remarkable stone and earth rampart surrounding it. Believed to have originated during the Iron Age, this historic hillfort stands as a testament to ancient civilizations that once thrived in this rugged landscape. The panoramic view reveals the intricate details of this archaeological wonder, highlighting its strategic location atop the hill. As sunlight bathes the scene, casting long shadows across undulating terrain, one can't help but be transported back in time to an era when life was simpler yet filled with mystery and intrigue. Dave MacLeod's expertly captured print invites us to explore every nook and cranny of this fascinating site from above.

As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring photograph, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance. It serves as a poignant reminder that our present is built upon layers of rich heritage and cultural legacy left behind by those who came before us.
