Old Photograph Train Station Aberdour Scotland

Old photograph of the Train Station in Aberdour, Fife, Scotland. Opened by the North British Railway in 1890, as part of the approach routes linking the Edinburgh and Northern Railway to the new Forth Rail Bridge, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. When Sectorisation was introduced by British Rail, the station was served by the ScotRail sector until the Privatisation of British Railways. The station has won numerous awards for its gardens. Near the railway station, built in the 14th century sits, Aberdour Castle which had been in Douglas ownership from 1342 until it passed into state care in 1924.

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.
