Old photograph of weavers cottages and houses in Killin, Scotland. This Scottish village is located at the western head of Loch Tay in Stirling in an area formerly a part of Perthshire. The MacNab Clan were once dominant here, and have long been associated with Killin. By the end of the 18th century there was a local linen industry. Flax was grown locally, spun in small mills and woven into linen by home based weavers. Today, Killin services the local rural community and the growing tourism and leisure industries. In addition to walking on Ben Lawers, fishing for trout and salmon there are various water sports available on Loch Tay.
