Old Photograph Harbour Street Creetown Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and houses on Harbour Street in Creetown near the head of Wigtown Bay, 18 miles Weest of Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This Scottish village was formerly served by the Portpatrick and Wigtownshire Railway. The granite quarries in the vicinity constitute the leading industry, the stone for the Liverpool docks and other public works having been obtained from them. The village dates from 1785, and became a burgh of barony in 1792. Sir Walter Scott laid part of the scene of Guy Mannering in this neighborhood. Dr Thomas Brown, the metaphysician, born 1778, died 1820, was a native of the parish in which Creetown lies.
