Old Photographs St Cyrus Scotland

Old photograph of St Cyrus located in Southern Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The village's original name, Ecclesgreig is from the Gaelic Eaglais-creag or " Church of the Rock ", referring to its ancient church situated at the base of a prominent sea cliff. The remains of the Kaim of Mathers is located on rock pinnacles on the northern most part of the beach. Built by the Barclay family, it was used as a refuge by David de Berkely from the vengeance of the king when, around 1420, he was part of a group who murdered the local sheriff, John Melville of Glenbervie.
