Old Photograph Shop Dryburgh Scotland
Old photograph of Tom Fox in the door of his shop in Dryburgh in the Borders, Scotland. The surname Fox originates primarily as an English nickname from the Middle English word for the animal, " fox, " describing a cunning or sly person, or someone with red hair. It also has Irish roots as an anglicized form of the Gaelic " Mac an tSionnaigh " Dryburgh was the first town to erect a monument in honour of William Wallace, in 1814. It is said that Sir Walter Scott did not like the structure. The current statue is in the grounds of Bemersyde House. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
