Old Photograph Brightons Scotland

Old photograph of shops in Brightons located three miles South East of Falkirk, Scotland. This Scottish village was built up around the sandstone quarry which was in operation from as early as the 17th Century. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal was built to the south of the village in 1822 and connects the village with the two main cities of Scotland. Later stone was carried by the canal to help build Edinburgh's new town in the 1830s and Falkirk's public buildings in the 1850s.
