Old Photograph High Street Langholm Scotland

Old photograph of a hotel, shops and buildings on the High Street in Langholm in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. In 1972, astronaut Neil Armstrong, a descendant of the clan, was welcomed to the town, and made the first freeman of the burgh. He happily declared the town his home:

“ My pleasure is not only that this is the land of Johnnie Armstrong, rather that my pleasure is in knowing that this is my home town and in the genuine feeling that I have among these hills among these people. ”

Langholm is the traditional seat of Clan Armstrong.
