Old Photograph Main Street Langholm Scotland

Old photograph of a hotel, shops and buildings on Main Street in Langholm in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Langholm, also known colloquially as the Muckle Toun, is on the River Esk and the A7 road. The town grew around the textile industry, but is now best known as the birthplace of Hugh MacDiarmid and Thomas Telford, and the ancestral home of Neil Armstrong. A branch of the Carlisle, England, to Hawick railway line to Langholm was completed in 1864, but closed 100 years later. Langholm is the traditional seat of Clan Armstrong.
