Old Photograph Poolewe Wester Ross Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and church in Poolewe, Wester Ross, Scotland. Poolewe has a relatively warm climate for its latitude, thanks to the Gulf Stream, which creates an almost sub tropical climate. While the winter in Poolewe is generally cold and wet, the maritime location means that it receives only a few days of snow a year. The Northern Lights are visible on occasion, depending on the weather and time of year; most often in winter.

Old Photograph Newtonmore Scotland

Old photograph of cottages, shop, houses and people in Newtonmore, Scotland. The village does not have a long history. Before the early 1800s, the local population lived in townships in Glen Banchor, a mile or so to the West and about 200 feet above the level of the present village. The building of the road bridge across the River Spey in the 1760s encouraged a few people to build houses lower down. The coming of the railway in the mid 1860s led to the village growing faster and the 1892 census shows a village with 364 inhabitants in 88 houses.

Old Photograph Kilmaurs Scotland

Old photograph of Kilmaurs, East Ayrshire, Scotland. Kilmaurs was known as the hamlet of Cunninghame until the 13th century. The Parish church, Saint Maurs, now St Maurs-Glencairn, dates from 1170. Kilmaurs was once noted for its cutlery, shoe and bonnet workshops, and there were iron and coal mines in the neighbourhood. A hanger is a type of hunting sword, the only remaining Scottish example of which was made in Kilmaurs; it is in the keeping of the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow.
