Old Photograph Echt Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Echt village located twelve miles from Aberdeen, Scotland. The name Echt may stem from the Gaelic " Each," meaning horse, based on a local legend of a horse discovering water for an ancient Caledonian army. Echt has a number of prehistoric remains, including the Barmekin of Echt which is on a hill to the northwest. There is also the Cullerlie stone circle near Sunhoney Farm, which may date from the Bronze Age.
