Old Photograph South Aisle Glasgow Cathedral Scotland

Old photograph of the South Aisle in the Cathedral in Glasgow, Scotland. Built before the Reformation from the late 12th century onwards and serving as the seat of the Bishop and later the Archbishop of Glasgow, the building is a superb example of Scottish Gothic architecture. It is also one of the few Scottish medieval churches, and the only medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland, to have survived the Reformation not unroofed.

Old Photograph Post Office Glen Clova Scotland

Old photograph of the Post Office cottage in Glen Clova, Scotland. It is most famous for its connection to Jean Cameron, a pioneering " postie " who revolutionized the Royal Mail uniform during World War II. Jean, whose mother was the postmistress at Glen Clova, delivered mail across a grueling route involving rivers, stone stiles, and muddy bogs. Finding the official blue skirt impractical for such terrain, she requested permission to wear trousers. Following her request, the General Post Office (GPO) updated the official uniform for the first time to include smart trousers. These became so popular that 14,000 pairs were issued by 1943, and the trousers themselves were nicknamed "Camerons" in her honour.
