Old Photograph Sheep Shearing Isle Of Skye Scotland

Old photograph of Crofters sheep shearing on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Shearing was very labour intensive. Apart from the shearers who hand clipped the sheep there were catchers to bring the sheep in from the field or pen. There were also people to roll the fleece once it was off the sheep, and then fold them before they were tied and bagged. Clipping could only be done in good conditions as fleeces had to be bagged whilst dry. Neighbouring crofters would help each other at busy times.

Old Photograph Of Lochy Bridge Scotland

Old Photograph of a motorcycle and sidecar crossing Lochy Bridge, Fort William, Scotland. Lochybridge, also known as Victoria Bridge, spans the River Lochy on the northern edge of Fort William, providing the only real link to the town and beyond from the A830. Immediately to the east of the bridge, the A830 meets the A82 at the Lochybridge Junction. This crossing point of the River Lochy was originally established as the most important one by Thomas Telford when he was constructing his Highland Roads. The first road built, in 1805, as part of this commission was the Arisaig Road, which left the old military road at Lochybridge and headed west. However, Telford decided that a bridge at this location was not necessary, instead improving the ferry service across the river. Whilst the ferry may have been sufficient in the first instance, as the new road brought a lot more traffic that way a bridge slowly became essential.

The American Civil War of 1861 to 1865 cut off cotton supplies to the textile mills of Paisley. The mills in 1861 had a stock of cotton in reserve, but by 1862 there was large scale shortages and closures.

Old Photographs Greenock Scotland

Old photograph of a Paddle Steamer at Greenock near Glasgow, Scotland. The fishing village of Greenock developed along this bay, and around 1635 Sir John Schaw had a jetty built into the bay which became known as Sir John's Bay. In that year he obtained a Charter raising Greenock to a Burgh of Barony with rights to a weekly market. In 1714 Greenock became a custom house port as a branch of Port Glasgow, and for a period this operated from rooms leased in Greenock. Receipts rose rapidly from the 1770s, and in 1778 the custom house moved to new built premises at the West Quay of the harbour. Greenock suffered badly during the Second World War and its anchorage at the Tail of the Bank became the base for the Home Fleet as well as the main assembly point for Atlantic convoys

Tour Scotland Video Christian Medieval Marker Stone Collace Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of a Discoid Marker Stone in Collace Churchyard, Perthshire, Scotland. It is suggested that this is likely to be the disc head of a medieval marker stone. As the length of the shaft is unknown, it is impossible to tell whether it is the head from a churchyard cross or a gravemarker. The artefact is unusual in having complex decoration more akin to that found on medieval Basque gravemarkers and isolated examples from England and Ireland. Although there is a possible alternative interpretation of the design on the verso, as a flower, it is suggested that the design on both faces represents the Seal of Solomon. This is possibly the earliest use of this symbol in Scotland.

Old Photograph Crofters Cottages Shetland Scotland

Old photograph of Crofter cottages on the coast of the Shetland Islands, Scotland. Crofting is a form of land tenure and small scale food production particular to the Scottish Highlands, the islands of Scotland. Crofting evolved from a turbulent period in the nineteenth century during the Highland Clearances. It was largely a means to sustain populations. The traditional crofting way of life was one of small scale mixed agriculture with animals and cultivation, often supplemented by income from other activities such as fishing.

Old Photograph Crofters Fair Isle Scotland

Old photograph of Crofters on Fair Isle, Scotland. Before the 19th century, land on Fair Isle was often worked under a system known as runrig, but this was later divided into smaller crofting units. Crofters rented their small plots of land, typically around 12 acres, from a single laird, who held the land's ownership. Crofts were used to raise livestock such as sheep and cattle and grow food, ensuring the crofters' self-sufficiency. The harsh economic realities of island life and poor fishing and crofting seasons led to a significant decline in living standards and emigration in the mid-19th century. This is an island in northern Scotland, lying around halfway between mainland Shetland and the Orkney Islands. It is famous for its bird observatory and a traditional style of knitting.

Tour Scotland Video Spey Casting Scottish Game Fair Scone Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of a Spey Casting demonstration at the Scottish Game Fair on the grounds of Scone Palace, by Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Spey casting is a casting technique used in fly fishing. Spey casting can be accomplished with either a normal length fly rod, or a rod referred to as a double handed fly rod, often called a Spey rod. Spey rods can also be used for standard overhead casting. Spey casting is used for fishing large rivers for salmon and large trout such as steelhead and sea trout. Spey technique is also used in saltwater surf casting. All of these situations require the angler to cast larger flies long distances. The two handed Spey technique allows more powerful casts and avoids obstacles on the shore by keeping most of the line in front of the angler. Spey casting originated in the heart of Scotland in the mid 1800s. The name comes from the River Spey in Scotland, which is where the cast originated, presumably at Gordon Castle Estate and Wester Elchies beat. Therefore, the Spey cast was developed so one could successfully cast on a large river such as the Spey. When Spey casting was introduced, 22 foot rods were used. These rods were made of greenheart, a heavy wood imported from British Guyana. Today, rods are only 12 to 15 feet in length, and can toss a line up to 80 feet.

With dramatic mountain ridges towering over the moorland of its northern half, and a lusher, softer landscape in the south, Arran is often dubbed as Scotland in Miniature. The fact is that this is an island with a huge amount to offer packed into small space. The great granite ridges may be lower in stature than those in the Highlands, but they are the equal of any mountains in Scotland for sheer grandeur. The coastline has some superb scenery and a wondeful outlook, whether towards Ayrshire or to Kintyre. And the island itself is packed with history and human interest, from the ancient standing stones on Machrie Moor.

Bearing a rich history and proud traditions, in the nineteenth century Scotland generated vast wealth through commerce, manufacturing and heavy industry which made Glasgow the 'Second City of the Empire' and shipbuilder to the world. This book covers the development of the Clyde Navigation, and the international exhibitions which took place in Kelvingrove and showed Glasgow off to the world. The photographs also show the drastic changes to the city as it was in the eighteenth century, changes that produced handsome new streets and urban parks, as well as increasingly fetid slums and unsightly factories. Later demolition of the historic core of the city by unsentimental Glaswegians made way for new public buildings, housing, the central shopping area and a modern railway system. This book also reflects the character of the hardworking population whose chequered lives have created the modern city of Glasgow. Glasgow in Old Photographs.

Witch Hunting in Scotland. Between the late sixteenth and early eighteenth centuries Scottish courts prosecuted hundreds of women and men for the crime of witchcraft, an offence that involved the alleged practice of maleficent magic and the worship of the devil. Scottish witch-hunts claimed far more victims than the prosecutions that took place in the more heavily populated kingdom of England. Witch-Hunting in Scotland presents a fresh perspective on the trial and execution of these people for inflicting harm on their neighbours and making pacts with the devil. Brian P. Levack draws on law, politics and religion to explain the intensity of Scottish witch-hunting. Topics discussed include the distinctive features of the Scottish criminal justice system, the use of torture to extract confessions, the intersection of witch-hunting with local and national politics, the relationship between state-building and witch-hunting and the role of James VI. Scottish Calvinism and the determination of zealous Scottish clergy and magistrates to achieve a godly society, are also examined as key factors. This original survey combines broad interpretations of the rise and fall of Scottish witchcraft prosecutions with detailed case studies of specific witch-hunts. Throughout, extensive comparisons between Scottish witch-hunts and those that took place in England, New England and continental Europe are made. Witch-Hunting in Scotland makes fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in witchcraft or in the political, legal and religious history of the early modern period.

West Linton had two therapeutic wells, the waters of which were sold on market days for either a penny or a half penny, depending on the well.
