Old Photograph Torphins Scotland
Old photograph of the Blacksmith in Torphins, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Scottish Gaelic: Tòrr Fionn, a village in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire. Situated about 23 miles west of Aberdeen. It is on the A980, about 7 miles north west of Banchory, and was once served by the Great North of Scotland Railway. The Deeside Railway line, used by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert when they travelled by Royal carriage to Ballater, passed through this area until 1966. Torphins was home to a War Memorial Maternity Hospital. As a result, many notable people from Deeside have been born in Torphins. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
