Old Photograph Moat Hill Scotland

Old photograph of Moat Hill, Cupar, Fife, Scotland. The Burgh Survey states that, through the years, it has been known as Moot Hill, Mote Hill, Cam Hill and Mons Placiti. Sibbald noted in the 18th century that the word '‘cam'’ in Gaelic meant crooked and was very descriptive of the long, winding ridge of which Castle Hill formed a part. The Reporter in the Statistical Account of the Burgh suggested that it should have been styled Mote Hill as it was probably the place where the Justiciar of Fife had his courts and published his enactments.

Old Photograph Hailes Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Hailes Castle in East Lothian, Scotland. This Scottish castle was originally founded as a fortified tower house by Hugo de Gourlay before 1300, making it one of the oldest constructions of its kind in Scotland. The superiority of the lands was held by the Earls of Dunbar and March. The de Gourlays, a Northumbrian family, supported the English in the Wars of Independence, and their land was forfeited by order of the Scottish Crown. Hailes Castle and lands were then confirmed upon another Northumbrian, Sir Adam de Hepburn, who, in the reign of David II, had a charter of the lands of Traprain, and Southalls and Northalls, now united and called Hailes, in Haddingtonshire, as well as the lands of Mersingtoun, Cockburnspath, and Rollanstoun in Berwickshire.

Old Photograph North Queensferry Scotland

Old photograph of North Queensferry in Fife, Scotland. This Scottish village is located on the Firth of Forth, between the Forth Railway Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge, and 10 miles from Edinburgh. The village takes its name from Saint Margaret of Scotland, the wife of King Malcolm III of Scotland, who is said to have established the village to ensure there would be regular ferry crossings across the Firth of Forth for the benefit of pilgrims travelling to St Andrews. Margaret is said to have made her arrival in Scotland here in 1068, and to have regularly used the ferry crossing when travelling between the then capital Dunfermline, and Edinburgh Castle. From around this time, the crossing became known as the Queen's Ferry. Margaret died in 1093 and made her final journey by ferry to Dunfermline Abbey, where she remains buried. Her son, David I of Scotland, awarded the ferry rights to the abbey. The Forth Railway Bridge was opened on 4th of March 1890, by the then Duke of Rothesay, later to become King Edward VII. North Queensferry railway station opened the same year.
