Old Photographs Monifieth Scotland
Old photograph of Monifieth located six miles West of Dundee, Scotland. Monifieth remained a small village, comprising a number of turf huts until the early 19th century. In the eighteenth century, the economy of the parish was mainly dependent on agriculture. Other industries included quarrying, weaving within the home and the start of manufacturing of linseed oil at a water-powered mill by the Dighty burn, supporting a small community, Milltown, later named as Milton of Monifieth. Although Monifieth had no harbour, cargo was off-loaded from vessels on Monifieth Sands in the relatively sheltered Firth of Tay at low tide and horse-drawn vehicles would move the cargo to nearby destinations.
