Old Photograph Northmuir Kirriemuir Scotland

Old photograph of cottages, houses and people in Northmuir, Kirriemuir, Scotland. Kirriemuir sits looking south towards Glamis and the Sidlaws over Strathmore, one of the most fertile fruit growing areas in Scotland. Its position at the base of the Angus glens makes it an attractive centre for hill walking on nearby Munros, fishing, partridge, pheasant and grouse shooting and deer-stalking. There is also an 18 hole golf course with views north to Glen Clova and Glen Doll. The town comprises mainly two areas, Northmuir and Southmuir.

Old Photograph Mcgibbon Pastry Shop Forfar Scotland

Old photograph of the Mcgibbon Pastry shop in Forfar, Angus, Scotland. Recorded in several spelling forms including: MacGibbon, McGibbon, MacKibbon, McKibbon and McKibbin, and sometimes as Gibbon, Gibben and Gibbin, without the prefix Mac or Mc at all, this is a Scottish surname of ancient origins. It derives from the Norman French name Gilbert itself of Germanic or Anglo Saxon pre 7th century origins, and it may have been the name of a Norman knight granted lands by the kings of Scotland in the 12th century.

Old Photograph MacFarlane Confectioner Shop Brechin Scotland

Old photograph of the MacFarlane Confectioner shop on the High Street in Brechin in Angus, Scotland. Recorded as MacFarlane, McFarlane, MacFarlan, McFarlan, MacFarland, MacFarlin, McParland, McParlin, and others, this is an ancient Scottish surname, and one that is also recorded in Ireland. It probably originates from the Gaelic MacPharlain, meaning " The son of Parlan ", a form which apparently derives from " Bartholmew ", a name introduced into Europe by the returning crusaders from the Holy land in the 12th century. However others claim that it may have a pre 7th century Viking origin and to translate as the " Sea Wave ", which is also possible. The name is first recorded in Scotland in the 14th Century, and an early example is that of Andrew McFarlane, who in 1577 was elected a Burgess of Glasgow.
