Old Photographs Langholm Scotland

Old photograph of Langholm, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This Scottish town is also known colloquially as the " Muckle Toon ". The town grew around the textile industry, but is now best known as the birthplace of Scottish poet, journalist, essayist and political figure, Hugh MacDiarmid and Scottish civil engineer, architect and stonemason, and a noted road, bridge and canal builder, Thomas Telford. The town was an important centre for the Border Reivers. The Border reivers were raiders along the Anglo-Scottish border from the late 13th century to the beginning of the 17th century. Their ranks consisted of both Scottish and English families, and they raided the entire Border country without regard to their victims' nationality. Their heyday was perhaps in the last hundred years of their existence, during the time of the Stewart Kings in Scotland and the Tudor dynasty in England.

Old Photograph Armadale Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station at Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. The station opened on 11 August 1862. It was opened by the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway which was then absorbed by the North British Railway. Becoming part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923, it passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, and was then closed by the British Transport Commission with the withdrawal of passenger services on 8 January 1956. The station was reopened as part of the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link. The Airdrie-Bathgate Rail link was a project created to enable Glasgow and Edinburgh to be linked via a fourth route by reopening the railway between the towns of Airdrie and Bathgate. However, the very severe winter weather of November and December 2010 delayed completion of construction work, and the station was initially served by a replacement bus service. The station was re-opened on 4 March 2011.

Old Photograph Coastal Shetland Scotland

Old photograph of a rock arch and small fishing boat on the coast of the Shetland Islands, Scotland. Enormous waves crash into the shores of these islands, wearing away great chunks of rock and creating the massive cliffs, with their caves, rock arches and inlets that are so much a feature of the Shetland coast.
