Old Photograph Threadneedle Street Stonehaven Scotland

Old photograph of houses on Threadneedle Street in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Stonehaven was a Jacobite town during the Jacobite rising of 1715, and it was a safe base for the retreating Jacobite army to stay overnight on the night of 5th of February 1716. During the Jacobite rising of 1745, Stonehaven, part of the Episcopalian north-east, was again reliably Jacobite and it was one of the north eastern ports where reinforcements, plus money and equipment were periodically landed from France.
