Old Photograph Shore Road Aberdour Fife Scotland

Old photograph of people, shops and houses on Shore Road in Aberdour, Fife, Scotland. Aberdour, Scottish Gaelic: Obar Dobhair, is a scenic and historic village on the south coast of Fife, Scotland. It is on the north shore of the Firth of Forth, looking south to the island of Inchcolm and its Abbey, and to Leith and Edinburgh beyond. The village's winding High Street lies a little inland from the coast. Narrow lanes run off it, providing access to the more hidden parts of the village and the shoreline itself.
