Old Photograph Dalhousie Street Monifieth Scotland
Old photograph of cottages and people on Dalhousie Street in Monifieth, by Dundee, Scotland. Monifieth remained a small village, comprising a number of turf huts until the early 19th century. In the eighteenth century, the economy of the parish was mainly dependent on agriculture. Other industries included quarrying, weaving within the home and the start of manufacturing of linseed oil at a water powered mill by the Dighty burn, supporting a small community. Although Monifieth had no harbour, cargo was off loaded from vessels on Monifieth Sands, in the relatively sheltered Firth of Tay, at low tide and horse drawn vehicles would move the cargo to nearby destinations.
