Old Photograph Beach Crescent Broughty Ferry Scotland

Old photograph of people walking on Beach Crescent in Broughty Ferry by Dundee, Scotland. Broughty Ferry is situated four miles east of the city centre on the north bank of the Firth of Tay. The area was a separate burgh from 1864 until 1913, when it was incorporated into Dundee. Formerly a prosperous fishing and whaling village, in the 19th century Broughty Ferry became a haven for wealthy jute barons, who built their luxury villas in the suburb. As a result, Broughty Ferry was referred to at the time as the " richest square mile in Europe. "

Old Photographs Gypsy Camp Near Pitlochry Highland Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of a gypsy camp near Pitlochry in Highland Perthshire, Scotland. Highland Travellers also known as Tinkers are closely tied to the native Highlands, and many traveller families carry clan names like Macfie, Stewart, MacDonald, Cameron, Williamson and Macmillan. They followed a nomadic or settled lifestyle; passing from village to village and are strongly identified with the native Gaelic speaking population. Continuing their nomadic life, they would often pitch their tents on rough ground on the edge of the village and earn money there as tinsmiths, hawkers, horse dealers or pearl fishermen. Many found seasonal employment on farms, e.g. at the berry picking or during harvest time.
