Old Photograph Boghead Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and houses in Boghead, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. This Scottish village located twenty three miles south east of Glasgow originated around the early 19th century as a settlement based around the old Blackwood Estate, as the original inhabitants used to work there. Blackwood estate provided farming work for local families. The Blackwood Estate, seat of the Weir de Veres since the thirteenth century, afterwards the Hope-Veres, was the most extensive estate in the parish of Lesmahagow and by some accounts the largest estate in the County of Lanark.
