Old Photographs Tobermory Scotland

Old photograph of Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Scotland. The name Tobermory comes from the Gaelic Tobar Mhoire which translates as " Mary's Well ", after an ancient holy well dedicated to the Virgin Mary in what is now the upper part of the village. The surname Mull was first found in County Clare, Irish: An Clár, located on the west coast of Ireland in the province of Munster, where they held a family seat as a Dalcassian sept on the borders of Galway, neighbours of the Kennedys. After the Norman Conquest of England, was strongly influenced by the invasion of Strongbow in 1172 which was almost equal to the enormous Irish cultural impact on England Scotland, Wales and the whole of Europe before the Norman Conquest from the 1st to 7th centuries. Many Irish clanns, sept names were intermixed and family groupings became almost indistinguishable. The name claims direct descent from Maolaneididh, who was King of Conmacne and died with Brian Boru at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014.

Old Photograph Thatched Cottages Findhorn Scotland

Old photograph of thatched cottages and people in Findhorn, Moray, Scotland. Nearby Findhorn Bay witnessed a brief episode in the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. In March 1746 the French brigantine Le Bien Trouvé entered the tidal waters with dispatches for Bonnie Prince Charlie but her departure, with the Prince’s aide-de-camp on board, was delayed by the arrival of two British men-o’-war. Unable to enter the shallow bay, the two warships lay in wait in the Firth. Somehow Le Bien Trouvé slipped out and away to safety on a dark night.
