Galloway was a Scottish car maker founded in 1920 as a subsidiary company to Arrol-Johnston. It was based at first at Tongland, Kirkcudbrightshire, and from 1923 at Heathall, Dumfries. It closed in 1928. The company was very unusual in the world of car making in that it was largely run and staffed by women. For a while the cars were advertised as " a car made by ladies for others of their sex ".

Old Photographs Cottages Plockton Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and houses in Plockton, Wester Ross, Scotland. Most of the buildings date from the 19th and 20th centuries. It was a planned community based on fishing in an attempt to stem the tide of emigration from the Highlands. The village is a popular tourist resort, especially because the TV series Hamish Macbeth, starring Robert Carlyle, was filmed there, substituting for the fictional Lochdubh. Plockton was also used for various scenes in the film The Wicker Man and the Inspector Alleyn Mysteries TV series.

Old Photograph Thatched Cottage Isle Of Lewis Scotland

Today, life is very different from elsewhere in Scotland, with Sabbath observance, the Gaelic language and peat cutting retaining more importance than elsewhere. Lewis has a rich cultural heritage as can be seen from its myths and legends as well as the local literary and musical traditions.
