Old Photograph King Edward VII North Berwick Scotland

Old photograph of the visit of King Edward VII to North Berwick, Scotland. Edward VII, born Albert Edward; 9 November 1841, died 6 May 1910, was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Emperor of India from 22 January 1901 until his death in 1910. The eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Edward was related to royalty throughout Europe. Before his accession to the throne, he served as heir apparent and held the title of Prince of Wales for longer than any of his predecessors. During the long reign of his mother, he was largely excluded from political power, and came to personify the fashionable, leisured elite. He travelled throughout Britain performing ceremonial public duties, and represented Britain on visits abroad. His tours of North America in 1860 and the Indian subcontinent in 1875 were popular successes, but despite public approval his reputation as a playboy prince soured his relationship with his mother.

Old Photograph Scaraben Hills Lybster Sotland

Old photograph of the Scaraben Hills behind Lybster, Caithness, Scotland. Scaraben is a long ridge almost three miles long with three rounded quartzite summits. There are excellent views of the Caithness coastline. The Sinclairs of Lybster have long roots running back to the Sinclair earls who ruled Caithness that was once a much larger area taking in much of Sutherland. Tracing further back the family has connections to the Norwegian earls who controlled the north of Scotland for centuries.
