Old Photographs Milnathort Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and houses in Milnathort, Perthshire, Scotland. For a small town, Milnathort has a rich history. Settlement in the area can be dated as far back as 2000BC, with two Neolithic standing stones being nearby where human remains were found and dated. Additionally, the remains of Burleigh Castle can still be seen just outside of the town, which is a 15th century castle built for the Balfours of Burleigh to rule over what was then a market town. There is another nearby medieval castle on an island on Loch Leven, the infamous Loch Leven Castle. This castle is known to have been visited by Robert the Bruce in 1313 and 1323, but is perhaps most famous for the imprisonment of Mary Queen of Scots, in 1567.

Old Photograph Croft Sutherland Scotland

Old photograph of a crofter with sheep outside a cottage in Sutherland, Scotland. Crofting was a form of small scale food production unique to the Scottish Highlands and the Islands of Scotland. The name Sutherland dates from the era of Norwegian Viking rule and settlement over much of the Highlands and Islands, under the rule of the jarl of Orkney. Although it contains some of the northernmost land in the island of Great Britain, it was called Suðrland, " southern land, " from the standpoint of Orkney and Caithness.
