Old Photograph Innerleven Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Innerleven, Fife, Scotland. This Scottish village, also known as Dubbieside, is located between Methil and Leven and was at one time a fishing and weaving area of Fife. Fife was an important royal and political centre from the reign of King Malcolm III onwards, as the leaders of Scotland gradually moved southwards away from their ancient strongholds around Scone by Perth, Perthshire. The Earl of Fife was until the 15th century considered the principal peer of the Scottish realm, and was reserved the right of crowning the nation's monarchs, reflecting the prestige of the area.
