Old photograph of a ferry at Burntisland, Fife, Scotland. The railway came to Burntisland in 1847. From then until the opening of the Forth Bridge in 1890, Burntisland was a terminus of national significance. In that period, the Burntisland to Granton ferry was the principal means of crossing the Forth estuary. Passengers transferred from the train to the ferry, and back to the train at the other side. After 1890 the ferry diminished in importance, but Burntisland continued as a major coal exporting port for many years.

Old photograph of Church Street, Inverkeithing, Fife, Scotland. The Battle of Inverkeithing on 20 July 1651 was fought on two sites in the area, one north of the town close to Pitreavie Castle, the other to the south on and around the peninsula of North Queensferry and the isthmus connecting it to Inverkeithing. The battle took place during Oliver Cromwell's invasion of the Kingdom of Scotland following the Third English Civil War.

June 3rd photograph of the River Tummel at Pitlochry, Scotland. The River Tummel runs from Loch Rannoch to the River Tay in Perthshire, passing through Pitlochry. The upper reaches of the river are the final destination for the salmon that work their way upstream from their Atlantic breeding grounds, which includes navigating the salmon ladder at Pitlochry Dam.
