Old Photograph West Anstruther Church Fife Scotland

Old photograph of West Anstruther in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Anstruther Wester Parish Church is on the western edge of the village of Anstruther in a graveyard cemetery which is bounded by a stream and a beach. In 1243, a church on this site was dedicated to St. Nicholas. The present structure consists of a sixteenth century tower and steeple and a mid nineteenth century main cell, which probably incorporates fabric from the medieval church. The graveyard surrounds the church to the north, south and east. It contains a number of 17th century memorials. I was raised in this old Scottish fishing village.

Old Photographs Irvine Scotland

Old photograph of Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland. The town was once a haunt of Robert Burns after whom two streets in the town are named; Burns Street and Burns Crescent. He is known to have worked in a flax mill on the Glasgow Vennel. Despite being classed as a new town, Irvine has had a long history stretching back many centuries and was classed as a Royal Burgh. There are also conflicting rumours that Mary, Queen of Scots stayed briefly at Seagate Castle. To this day there is still a yearly festival, called Marymass, held in the town.
