Old Photograph Crook of Devon Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Crook Of Devon, Perthshire, Scotland. Until quite recently the official name of this Scottish village was Fossoway but this has been usurped by the widely used nickname " crook of devon ". The latter name derives from the sudden angle, or crook, which the River Devon makes near the village. It was famous in the 17th century for witch burnings. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
