Old Photograph Butterybank Coupar Angus Scotland

Old photograph of farm workers cottages by Butterybank in Coupar Angus, Perthshire, Scotland. The name may be linked to the town’s monastic history. Coupar Angus was home to one of Scotland's wealthiest Cistercian abbeys. Monastic " butteries " or storage areas for food and drink were common, though the specific naming of Butterybank often relates to its historical position on the town's fringes where such agricultural storage or market activities took place.
