Old photograph of Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The town was granted a Royal Charter in 1450, making the Town of Strathaven a Burgh of Barony. The town's main industry was weaving in the 19th and early 20th centuries, however this declined when faced by competition from Glasgow. The industrial revolution bypassed the town as it had little to offer in the way of natural resources.
