Old Photographs Collin Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and houses in Collin village in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This small Scottish village located between Dumfries and Gretna Green on the Lochar Water has a small cemetery. Collins was the 30th most common surname in Ireland when a study was made in 1890, yet it is also a common name in Scotland and in England. Ironically, the name today spelled Collins probably has at least three different origins, one or more Irish Gaelic, one Scots Gaelic, and one in Anglo-Saxon.
