Old Photographs Fortingall Scotland
Old photograph of thatched cottages, horse and cart and people in Fortingall near Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland. The village of Fortingall, with its large hotel adjoining the churchyard, was built 1890 by shipowner and Unionist MP, Sir Donald Currie, born 1825, died 1909, who bought the Glenlyon Estate, including the village, in 1885. It was designed by the architect James M MacLaren, born 1853, died 1890, and built by John McNaughton. The thatched cottages are notable examples of a planned village built in vernacular style, combining both Lowland Scottish and English influences, notably from Devon.England, and are increasingly appreciated as one of the most important examples of arts and crafts vernacular style in Scotland.
