- Middlebie is a hamlet and parish in the historic county of Dumfriesshire in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland. It is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Ecclefechan, and 6 miles (9.7 km) north-east of Annan, on the banks of the Middlebie Burn. Middlebie Parish consists of the ancient parishes of Middlebie, Pennersax (Pennersaughs) and Carruthers, united in 1609. Middlebie was the seat of a Presbytery from some time after the Reformation until 1743. It was then divided to form the Presbyteries of Langholm and Annan. Middlebie parish is now in the Presbytery of Annandale & Eskdale. It is bounded by the parishes of Tundergarth, Langholm, Canonbie, Half Morton, Kirkpatrick Fleming, Annan and Hoddam. The villages of Eaglesfield, Middlebie and Waterbeck lie within the parish, with Kirtlebridge on its southern boundary. Eaglesfield and Hottsbridge by Waterbeck still have primary schools. The school at Middlebie closed in 1972 nearly a hundred years after it opened. The Eaglesfield building is now just over a hundred years old. The former school in Waterbeck village, built about 1900, is now the public hall. Eaglesfield's public hall was built in 1892–3. Middlebie's old hall (a wooden ex-army building purchased in 1928) was demolished and a new one built in 2001. The West Coast Main Line railway runs through the parish from London to Glasgow. Previously the Caledonian Railway, the line formerly had a station at Kirtlebridge, where the writer Thomas Carlyle would alight before walking up to his parents farm at Scotsbrig above Middlebie. From Kirtlebridge the Solway Junction Railway ran down to Annan and across by the Solway viaduct to Cumbria. It was built to transport iron ore to the Lanarkshire steelworks. In 1841 the population of the parish was 2,154 and about sixty of these people were handloom weavers. There were inns and shops and the Lime Works Blacketridge. Tradesmen listed in 1841 include joiners, shoemakers, tailors, cloggers, masons, millers, carters, grooms, gardeners, dressmakers, straw-hat makers, etc. Today, only Eaglesfield still has a general store and post office. In 1841, as well as 73 farmers, 314 people were employed as agricultural labourers and 60 more as servants. Notable people from Middlebie include William Brown (1888–1975), professor of plant pathology and head of the botany department at Imperial College of Science and Technology. (en)

- Middlebie é uma aldeia e freguesia em Dumfries and Galloway, no sudoeste da Escócia. Está lozalizada aproximadamente a 3.2 km à leste de Ecclefechan, e à 9.7 km a nordeste de Annan, nas margens de Middlebie Burn. A freguesia de Middlebie consiste nas freguesias antigas de Middlebie, Pennersax (Pennersaughs) e Carruthers, unidas em 1609. Middlebie foi a sede de um Presbitério, desde algum tempo, após a Reforma Escocesa até 1743. Foi então dividido para formar os Presbitérios de Langholm e Annan. A paróquia de Middlebie está agora no Presbitério de Annandale & Eskdale. É delimitada pelas paróquias de Tundergarth, Langholm, Canonbie, Half Morton, Kirkpatrick Fleming, Annan e Hoddam. As aldeias de Eaglesfield, Middlebie e Waterbeck encontram-se dentro da freguesia, com Kirtlebridge em seus limites sul. Eaglesfield e Hottsbridge de Waterbeck ainda têm escolas primárias. A escola de Middlebie fechou em 1972, quase cem anos depois que abriu. O edifício Eaglesfield tem agora mais de cem anos. A antiga escola na vila de Waterbeck, construída em torno de 1900, é agora a sala pública. O corredor público de Eaglesfield foi construído em 1892-3. O antigo salão de Middlebie (um edifício de madeira ex-exército comprado em 1928) foi demolido e um novo foi construído em 2001. A linha West Line Main Line atravessa a freguesia de Londres a Glasgow. Anteriormente à Caledonian Railway, a linha tinha uma estação em Kirtlebridge, onde o escritor Thomas Carlyle ficava antes de caminhar até a fazenda de seus pais em Scotsbrig acima de Middlebie. De Kirtlebridge, a Solway Junction Railway foi até Annan e atravessou o viaduto Solway para Cumbria. Este foi construído para transportar minério de ferro para a siderúrgica Lanarkshire. Em 1841, a população da freguesia era de 2,154 e cerca de sessenta dessas pessoas eram tecelãs artesanais. Havia pousadas e lojas e o Lime Works Blacketridge. Os comerciantes listados em 1841 incluem marceneiros, sapateiros, alfaiates, pedreiros, moleiros, carpinteiros, noivos, jardineiros, costureiras, fabricantes de chapéus de palha, etc. Hoje, apenas em Eaglesfield ainda possui uma loja geral e uma agência postal. Em 1841, assim como 73 fazendeiros, 314 pessoas eram empregadas como trabalhadores agrícolas e mais 60 servas. (pt)
