Old Photograph Alfred Swan Greenock Scotland

Old photograph of Alfred Swan in Greenock by Glasgow, Scotland. The Swan surname is Scottish and English: from the Middle English swan, and hence a nickname for a person noted for purity or excellence, which were taken to be attributes of the swan, or resembling a swan in some other way. This was also an Old Norse and Old English personal name, from which the surname may have been derived.
