Old Photograph Cottages Stow Scotland
Old photograph of cottages in Stow located seven miles North of Galashiels, Scottish Borders of Scotland. In 1870, James Thin, who was a Scottish bookseller, purchased a plot of land in the village and had a house built which was completed in 1873 and was named Ashlea. Until going into administration in 2002, the James Thin book company was principal academic bookshop in Edinburgh, with its main premises near the University of Edinburgh in Infirmary Street. It also had branches in other cities, including Perth, Perthshire, and Dundee. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
