Tour Scotland Photograph Daniel Sharp Gravestone Blackford

Tour Scotland photograph of the Daniel Sharp gravestone in the graveyard in Blackford, Perthshire, Scotland. Daniel Sharp, Brewer in Blackford, who died 8th September, 1870, aged 63. The long brewing tradition at Blackford was largely due to the ready availability of excellent water for brewing coupled with a plentiful supply of good quality, locally produced malting barley. By the beginning of the 19th century brewing was a thriving industry. The oldest brewery, dating back to King James IV, came into the hands of the Sharp family in 1790.
