Old Photograph Blacksmiths Ford Argyll Scotland

Old photograph of the Blacksmith cottage in Ford village located at the southern end of Loch Awe, Argyll, Scotland. This Scottish village grew from just being a stopping point on the Highland cattle drove route to Inveraray, until it eventually gained a church, school, blacksmiths and a village shop. The Ford Hotel dates back to 1864 and was probably erected on the site of the old change house. he hill known as Dun Dubh overlooks the village. Many prehistoric structures survive within the village boundary and are all easily accessible or can be seen from the public road.
