Old Photographs Friockheim Scotland

Old photograph of Friockheim, Angus, Scotland. This Scottish village dates from 1814. It lies between the towns of Arbroath, Brechin, Forfar and Montrose. When Thomas Gardyne of Middleton succeeded his brother as the laird of the lands of Friock and feued them to Mr John Anderson, of Arbroath, the new proprietor-in-feu built a flax spinning mill and attracted many textile workers to settle on easy terms in what was at first known as Friock feus.
