Old Photographs Acharn Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of cottages, houses and people in Acharn located on on the south shore of Loch Tay, Perthshire, Scotland. The hamlet here was built in the early 19th century to house workers from the surrounding estates. A mill was constructed to harness the power of the nearby Acharn Burn. William Wordsworth is known to have visited the falls near here in 1803 with his sister Dorothy, who noted in her diary the beautiful view available of Loch Tay from the falls. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
