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.
