Old Photograph Reverend James Sharp Inveresk Church Musselburgh Scotland

Old photograph of Reverend James Sharp, Inveresk Church, Musselburgh, Scotland. James was the Minister at Inveresk from 1888 to 1905. There have been at least three Churches on the site of St Michael's. The first was built beside the ruins of a Roman fort. This was most likely a wooden structure which, according to legend, was built at the instigation of the intrepid Irish missionary nun Modwenna, who died in AD 519. Again, according to legend, Modwenna built Churches echoing each of King Arthur's forts.

Old photograph of crofters cottages in Waternish on the Isle Of Skye, Scotland. Waternish or Vaternish is a peninsula on the island of Skye, Scotland, situated between Loch Dunvegan and Loch Snizort in the northwest of the island, and traditionally inhabited and owned by Clan MacLeod whose clan seat is at the nearby Dunvegan Castle. The current clan chief is Hugh Macleod of Macleod. It contains the hamlets of Stein and Lusta in Loch Bay to the south east, Halistra, Hallin and Trumpan further north and Gillen to the west, all of which are accessed from the A850 road by crossing the Fairy Bridge. The history of the peninsula is a long, and often bloody, one involving clan feuds, massacres, de-population during the Highland Clearances.
