Old photograph of Gartmore House in Gartmore village near Stirling, Scotland. This Scottish mansion house was built in the mid 18th century for the Graham family on the site of an earlier house. William Adam prepared plans for Nicol Graham of Gartmore in the 1740s. The house was enlarged for Nicol's son, Robert Graham of Gartmore by John Baxter Junior in 1779. Gartmore became the home of Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham, born 1852, died 1936, in 1883. He was forced to sell the estate in 1900 to pay death duties. The estate was then bought by Sir Charles Cayzer. It was partly redesigned by David Barclay, a student of Charles Rennie Mackintosh of Glasgow, who added the tower, altered the roof and redesigned the western front, in 1901. Internally, the main stairs were relocated in the centre of the house and the staircase is substantial, timber, which Cayzer claimed came from the Spanish Armada, with balustrades and newel posts which reflect Mannerist forms. The house was commandeered by the Army in the 1940s, and became a barracks until 1950. After the war, the Cayzer family did not take the house back and it was sold off in pieces. In 1953, the Archdiocese of Glasgow bought the house to establish St. Ninian's, a list D school run by the De La Salle Brothers, a Roman Catholic religious order.

Old photograph of cottages and car in Balmullo in North East Fife, Scotland. This Scottish village is seven miles from the town of St Andrews and near to the villages of Lucklawhill, Guardbridge, Dairsie and Leuchars. Now largely a dormitory settlement, it was once a weaving village. Balmullo was the home of the picture postcard cartoonist Martin Anderson known as Cynicus, whose red sandstone Cynicus Castle was demolished in 1939, seven years after his death.

Old photograph of horses and carriages and people in County Square in Paisley by Glasgow, Scotland. Horse and carriage transport in Scotland evolved from the introduction of coaches in the late 16th century to their zenith in the 18th and 19th centuries, eventually being superseded by railways. Early public coaches began in 1610 between Edinburgh and Leith, while private carriages became popular with the nobility by 1700. The "golden age" of stagecoaches in the 18th and 19th centuries saw a network of reliable transport for passengers and mail, followed by a decline with the rise of the railway
