Old Photograph Canongate Bridge Jedburgh Scotland

Old photograph of the three span, dressed stone, 16th century Canongate Bridge which spans the Jed Water in Jedburgh, Borders Scotland. To control access to the royal burgh of Jedburgh, the approaches on either side were built at nearly a 90-degree angle to the bridge itself. Some of the stones used in the bridge, particularly in the parapets of the eastern refuges, were likely repurposed from a nearby church, possibly the Friary which was largely destroyed in the 16th century.

Old Photograph Nelson Street Tayport Fife Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and people on Nelson Street in Tayport, Fife across from Dundee, Scotland. The settlement was originally called Partan Craig, Gaelic for " Crab Rock ". Over the following two hundred years English usage eroded many Gaelic place names in eastern Scotland and Partan Craig had become known as Portincragge by 1415 and as Port-in-Craige by the end of the 15th century. In 1598 the settlement received its burgh charter in the name of Ferry-Port on Craig. In the 1850s, the Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee Railway Company established a railway service running from Edinburgh to Aberdeen that passed through Ferry-Port on Craig. They used the simpler name of " Tayport " for the town. This less cumbersome name soon caught on and over time, Tayport replaced Ferry-Port on Craig as the more common name.
