Old Photograph Main Street Ratho Scotland

Old photograph of cottages, horses, and people on the Main Street in Ratho, Edinburgh, Scotland. A Scottish village and parish in the west of Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland. The Union Canal passes through the village. Ratho is the site of stone age circles, carved into the rocks. There was also a witches stone, which held many legends. When the stone was moved by the land owner for farming, it was believed evil spirits were released into the village. It is believed that the name Ratho comes from Rathach, Scottish Gaelic, for a place where there is an old fort.

Old Photograph Dalhousie Street Monifieth Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and people on Dalhousie Street in Monifieth, by Dundee, Scotland. Monifieth remained a small village, comprising a number of turf huts until the early 19th century. In the eighteenth century, the economy of the parish was mainly dependent on agriculture. Other industries included quarrying, weaving within the home and the start of manufacturing of linseed oil at a water powered mill by the Dighty burn, supporting a small community. Although Monifieth had no harbour, cargo was off loaded from vessels on Monifieth Sands, in the relatively sheltered Firth of Tay, at low tide and horse drawn vehicles would move the cargo to nearby destinations.
