Old Photograph Skipness Scotland

Old photograph of Skipness, Kintyre, Scotland. A Scottish village on the east coast of Kintyre in Scotland, a few miles south of Tarbert and facing the Isle of Arran. There is a ruined castle and Kilbrannan Chapel, which contains some rare grave slabs. The estate of Skipness had been in Campbell hands since 1511, when it was given to Archibald, second son of the second Earl of Argyll. The last Campbell laird, Walter, sold it in 1843 to William Fraser, whose son in turn sold it in 1866 to the Grahams, who had made their money in the grocery and wine trade in Glasgow. It remained in Graham hands until 1936.
