Old Photograph Lhanbryde Scotland
Old photograph of cottages in Lhanbryde located four miles East of Elgin, Moray, Scotland. The origin of the name " Lhanbryde " is thought to be Pictish, meaning the " Church Place of St Bride ". Why the name has emerged in modern times in its very Welsh form is unclear. The village name was recorded as Lamanbride in 1215; Lambride at the end of the 14th century; Lambry in 1600; and Longbride in 1750. Little remains of the church after which Lhanbryde is named. A churchyard stands above the north side of the main road in the centre of the village, but by 1796 the church that stood here, itself probably only the last in a series on the site, was in a state of ruin and was demolished.
