Old Photograph Scotlandwell Scotland

Old photograph of horses and carts, houses and people in Scotlandwell, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish village is one of the great historic sites of old Kinross-shire. Named Fons Scotiae by the Romans who passed this way nearly 2,000 years ago, the curative waters that bubble up through the sandy ground were used by Red Friars who maintained a hospital in the village between 1250 and 1587. Thousands of pilgrims came to Scotlandwell to take the water, the most famous perhaps being King Robert the Bruce who is alleged to have found a cure for leprosy here.
