Old Photograph Loch Ewe Scotland

Old photograph of Loch Ewe in Wester Ross, Scotland. Loch Ewe has always been an assembly point for maritime trade. Around 1610 the area at the head of Loch Ewe, today known as Poolewe, was urbanised around an iron furnace utilising charcoal produced in the surrounding woodlands for fuel. English ironmasters found it more economic to ship the ore to Poolewe for smelting than to ship the processed charcoal to England to run furnaces there. Loch Ewe was used as an assembly point for the Arctic Convoys during World War II. Ships from the British, American and other ports gathered here before sailing to Murmansk from September 1942 following the disaster of Convoy PQ 17 in order to confuse German intelligence.

Old Photograph Parish Church Torryburn Scotland

Old photograph of the Parish Church in Torryburn, Fife, Scotland. Prior to the construction of the first church in Torryburn in 1616 the inhabitants went to Crombie Old Parish Church, outside Torryburn to the southeast. After the construction of the first church the population continued to grow because of the port and associated commerce in the area. The growing population required a larger church and the original church was demolished and a larger church constructed on the same site.
