Old Photograph Mugdock Scotland

Old photograph of Mugdock located two miles North of Milngavie, Scotland. In the past the hamlet had more significance. In the year 750 a battle was recorded in the Annals of Ulster has having taken place between the Picts and the Britons. Talorgan son of Uurgust, brother of Unust king of the Picts, died there. The battle is also recorded by the medieval Welsh text Annales Cambriae which names the battle site as Mocetauc. This is fairly plausibly explained as Mugdock, which lies roughly in the area where the ancient Pictish and British kingdoms must have met.

Old photograph of the railway station in Ardrossan located in North Ayrshire, Scotland. Between 1841 and 1848 Ardrossan was a part of the West Coast Main Line equivalent of its time. The fastest route from London to Glasgow was by train to Fleetwood, and thence by packet boat to Ardrossan. Passenger services from Ardrossan harbour to Brodick on the Isle of Arran started in 1834, and services to Belfast in Ireland, later Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man followed in 1884 and 1892 respectively. Clyde sailings were operated initially by the Glasgow and South Western Railway Company from Winton Pier and the Caledonian Railway from Montgomerie Pier. The Earl of Eglinton's ambitious plan for a canal link to Glasgow was never realised.
