Old Photograph Stirling Street Blackford Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of houses, cottages and children on Stirling Street in Blackford located five miles from Auchterarder, Perthshire, Scotland. Local legend claims the name originated from a " black ford " where King Magnus's wife, Queen Helen, drowned in a storm. The area was a stopping point, and the first public brewery was established here. Legend has it that William Wallace defeated an English force at the ford around 1296.
