Old Photograph Cullapool Scotland
Old photograph of cottages in Cullapool on the Island of Luing, Firth of Lorn, fifteen miles South of Oban, Scotland. In the early part of the Christian era the island of Luing would have formed part of the Gaelic kingdom of Dalriada. From the 9th to 13th centuries almost all of the Hebrides came under the control of Norse settlers and formed part of the Kingdom of the Isles. However, when Edgar of Scotland signed a treaty with Magnus Barefoot in 1098, formally acknowledged the existing situation by giving up Scottish claims to the Hebrides and Kintyre, Luing and Lismore were retained by the Scots.
