Old Photographs Haugh of Glass Scotland
Old photograph of cottages and houses in Haugh of Glass located six miles West of Huntly in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Aberdeenshire played an important role in the fighting between the Scottish clans. Clan MacBeth and the Clan Canmore were two of the larger clans. Macbeth fell at Lumphanan in 1057. During the Anglo Norman penetration, other families arrives such as House of Balliol, Clan Bruce, and Clan Cumming. When the fighting amongst these newcomers resulted in the Scottish Wars of Independence, the English King Edward I traveled across the area twice, in 1296 and 1303. In 1307, Robert the Bruce was victorious near Inverurie. Along with his victory came new families, namely the Forbeses and the Gordons.
