Old Photograph Shops Allan Street Blairgowrie Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of shops on Allan Street in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland. The surname Allan was first found in the lands of Shropshire, England, where Walter FitzAlan of Brittany held a family seat after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The parish of Mileham, Norfolk is of early significance to the family. " This place, at the time of the Conquest, was given to Alan, son of Flaald, and ancestor of the Fitz-Alans, earls of Arundel, who erected a strong castle here, of which some vestiges may still be traced, within the area of an intrenchment of twelve acres; the site of the keep is pointed out by an inner intrenchment by which it was surrounded.
