Old Photograph Latheronwheel Scotland

Old photograph of the harbour in Latheronwheel in Caithness, Scotland. This Scottish village was built on the land of one Captain Dunbar, who had actually wished for it to be called Janetston, after his wife. It was a planned settlement, begun in 1835 with the building of a hotel, then known as Dunbar’s Hotel, but today as The Blends, due to its proprietor in the 1890s penchant for blending whisky from stills of dubious legality. In the beginning, tenants of the settlement were allocated 2 acres of land and the right to fish from the harbour. The harbour was constructed around 1840, with a small lighthouse, soon disused, built on the southern headland. At one time was the home of 50 fishing boats although few now remain. Initially salmon was caught, but this gave way to herring.
