Old Photograph Church Street Edzell Scotland

Old photograph of cottages on Church Street in Edzell, Angus, Scotland. The present village of Edzell was originally known as Slateford. In 1818, it was decided the old church's location was inconvenient for the growing population, so a new parish church was built at the northern edge of the existing village of Slateford. The presence of this new church on its northern boundary led to the official renaming of the entire settlement as Edzell. The street where the new church was built subsequently became known as Church Street.
