Old Photograph Spittalfield Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and houses in Spittalfield, Perthshire, Scotland. This was a planned weaving village with traditional Scottish cottages surrounding a village green built in 1776. In 1846 the village had 238 inhabitants, mostly weavers, hence the name Spittalfield. The village lies between Caputh and Meikleour, on the A984 road 6 miles east of Dunkeld. Sir John Muir Mackenzie, of Delvine, Baronet. was the principal heritor in the parish. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
