Old Photograph Battery Place Rothesay Scotland

Old photograph of houses and people walking on Battery Place in Rothesay, Isle of Bute, Scotland. During the Victorian era, Rothesay developed as a popular tourist destination. It became hugely popular with visitors from Glasgow. Rothesay was also the location of one of Scotland's many hydropathic establishments during the 19th century boom years of the Hydropathy movement. The town also had an electric tramway, the Rothesay and Ettrick Bay Light Railway, which stretched across the island to one of its largest beaches. However, this closed in the mid 1930s.
