Old Photograph Post Office Balquhidder Scotland

Old photograph of a walker outside the cottage Post Office in Balquhidder, Scotland. Balquhidder village is overlooked by the dramatic mountain terrain of the Braes of Balquhidder, at the head of Loch Voil, Balquhidder Glen is also popular for fishing, nature watching and walking, The Maclaurins acquired the district as early as the 9th century and occupied it for several hundred years until ousted by the Macgregors, a neighbouring clan, who had repeatedly raided their lands, and in 1558 slew the chief and many of his followers. The Parish is also an ancient seat to branches of the Stewart and Fergusson Clans.
