Old Photograph Of Golfers In Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of golfers in Perthshire, Scotland. The origins of golf in Perthshire are obscure, as they are for the rest of Scotland, but it is likely they date to the fifteenth century. National bans on golf and football, designed to promote the practise of archery, were made in 1458, 1471 and 1491. In 1502, the first recorded purchase of golf equipment, a set of golf clubs costing thirteen shillings, was made by King James IV from a bow maker in Perth.

Old Photograph Caravan Highlands Scotland

Old photograph of a Caravan in the Highlands of Scotland. Caravanning has a long and noble history. The word derives from the Persian word ‘ Karwan’ meaning ‘van’ and derived from ‘caravane’, the French translation of it, and was used to describe people travelling across the desert. The origins of the Romany caravans go all the way back to antiquity where itinerant Romans travelled the empire. These people became known as gypsies, a traditional lifestyle that has lasted throughout the centuries and continues to this day, carrying all their belongings with them in brightly painted horse drawn covered wagons, working and moving on.
