Old Photograph Enterkin Pass Scotland

Old photograph of Enterkin Pass, a pass which descends into the valley of the Enterkin Burn crossing between East Mount Lowther and Lowther Hill to the South West of Wanlockhead, Scotland. The Enterkin Pass was an old pack horse route through the hills from Dumfries to Glasgow. The route was used mainly for extracting lead to the Solway coast and was never viable as a main route north because of its height. There is no road through there now though there is a track for walkers into the centre of the hills. The Enterkin Pass was the location of a 1684 Covenanter ambush of a party of Dragoons during the Killing Time.

Old Photograph River Beauly Scotland

Old photograph of the River Beauly in the Scottish Highlands, about ten miles West of the city of Inverness, Scotland. The river begins near the village of Struy, at the confluence of the River Farrar and the River Glass. The river meanders as it flows east, passing to the south of the village of Beauly and into the Beauly Firth. The river was first bridged in about 1817, when Thomas Telford constructed the five arched Lovat Bridge about one mile South West of Beauly. This bridge carried the A9, the main route north, until the Kessock Bridge was opened in 1982. A railway bridge across the river on the outskirts of Beauly was built in the 1860s to carry the Inverness & Ross-shire Railway, now the Far North Line. Another road bridge, near Kilmorack, was built in the 20th century. The river is part of the Affric Beauly hydro electric power scheme, with dams and power stations at Aigas and Kilmorack. Both have 20MW generators and include fish ladders to allow salmon to pass, the Aigas fish ladder is open to visitors in the summer.
