Old Photograph Kinnesswood Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of Kinnesswood, Perthshire, Scotland. The village of Kinnesswood together with Scotlandwell, Easter Balgedie, Wester Balgedie and Glenlomond form the Parish of Portmoak. The villages all nestle along the foot of the Bishop Hill, part of the Lomond Hills. The name, Portmoak, or the original " Pitmoag " takes the name from the area dedicated to St. Moak in the first Millennium AD. From the 16th Century until 1926 the village was an important centre for the manufacture of Parchment and Vellum.
