Old Photographs of Port-na-Craig Scotland


Old photograph of the ferry at Port-na-Craig, Pitlochry, Perthshire, Scotland. The ferry at Port Na Craig was established in the 12th Century by the monks of Coupar Angus, who were gifted the land of Fonab. The ferry allowed the monks to cross over to the north bank to visit the village of Moulin. To ensure a safe crossing, people would drop a coin or brass pin in to St Brides Wishing Well on the north bank. In later times the ferry would convey horses, carts as well as passengers.
