Old Photographs Southend Scotland
Old photograph of cottages in Southend, which is situated 8 miles South of Campbeltown, Scotland. The village is located beside Dunaverty Bay, which at one end has a rocky promentory called Dunaverty Rock, where a fort was located. It is reputed that during the Dunaverty Massacre the Catholic MacDonalds were burned alive in their stronghold at Dunaverty Castle. The village is also reputed to be the location where Saint Columba first set foot in Scotland. On a rock near the village are footprints called Columba's Footprints where it is claimed he first preached on Scottish soil, after being banished from Ireland.
