Old Photograph Brydekirk Scotland
Old photograph of cottages in Brydekirk in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The original village was called Bridechapel and was north west of what is now Brydekirk Mains farm. In 1507, over 500 years ago, it was known as Bridechapel, in 1517 Brydekyrk and in 1660 Brydekirk. It had its own water at St Brydes Well and the spring is still there 500 years later. In 1837, over 200 years ago the list of people in the village were, 1 minister, 2 clog makers, 1 cooper, 3 grocers and whisky spirit dealer, 4 mason builders, 1 miller, 1 tailor, 1 vinter, 1 flax dresser and 2 blacksmiths. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
