Old Photographs Newburgh Fife Scotland

Old photograph of people, houses and the George Hotel in Newburgh, Fife, Scotland. For some time, the industries in Newburgh chiefly consisted of the making of linen and floor cloth, malting and quarrying, and there were fisheries, especially of salmon. The harbour was used for the transshipment of the cargoes of Perth-bound vessels of over 200 tons. But most of these industries have now gone. A linoleum factory, owned by Courtaulds, which had been the town's principal employer, closed in May 1980 after a large fire destroyed much of the building.

Old Photographs Portobello Scotland

Old photograph of Portobello, Edinburgh, Scotland. Portobello is located three miles to the east of the city centre of Edinburgh, along the coast of the Firth of Forth, in Scotland. By the 18th century it had become a haunt of seamen and smugglers. In 1742 a cottage was built on what is now the High Street, close to the junction with what is now Brighton Place, by a seaman by the name of George Hamilton, who had served under Admiral Edward Vernon during the 1739 capture of Porto Bello, Panama, meaning literally beautiful port or harbour, and who named the cottage Portobello Hut in honour of that victory. By 1753 there were other houses around it, and the cottage itself remained intact until 1851, becoming a hostelry for walkers and becoming known as the Shepherd's Ha'.
