Old Photograph Catterline Scotland

For centuries, it served as a vital fishing village, using its sheltered cove, with a pier built in 1810 for protection and commerce. Fishermen supplemented incomes through smuggling.

Old Photograph Cottage Carse of Forth Stirling Scotland

Old photograph of a woman outside a cottage in the Carse of Forth near Stirling, Scotland. A Carse is an area of low lying and fertile land occupying certain Scottish river valleys, such as that of the River Forth. In the case of the River Forth, the carse extends some considerable distance above and below Stirling, where due to constraints such as the Abbey Craig to the North and the castle rock, on which the town is based, to the South, it is very narrow.
