Old Photograph Mother And Children Outside A Tenement In Aberdeeen Scotland

Old photograph of mother and children outside a tenement in Aberdeen, Scotland. A tenement was a substandard multi family dwelling occupied by the poor. Tenements make up a large percentage of the housing stock of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Glasgow tenements were built to provide high-density housing for the large number of people immigrating to the city in the 19th and early 20th century as a result of the Industrial Revolution, when the city's population boomed to more than 1 million people. Edinburgh's tenements are much older, dating from the 17th century onwards, and some were up to 15 stories high when first built, which made them the tallest houses in the world at that time.

Old Photograph Clyde Puffer Harbour Brodick Island Of Arran Scotland

Old photograph of a Clyde puffer in the harbour at Brodick on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. The Clyde puffer is essentially a type of small steamboat which provided a vital supply link around the west coast and Hebrides islands of Scotland, stumpy little cargo ships that have achieved almost mythical status thanks largely to the short stories Neil Munro wrote about the Vital Spark and her captain Para Handy.
