Old Photographs Harbour Kirkcaldy Fife Scotland

Old photograph of ships in the harbour in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland.

A shipbuilding trade also existed on the site until this was phased out temporarily in 1645. As Kirkcaldy entered into the 19th century the harbour was catering for the growing trade of imports of flax, timber and hemp and exports of coal, salt and linen cloth, when a decision was made to build a new wet dock and pier from 1843 to 1846. The subsequent demands for linoleum and coal led to a further extension from 1906 to 1908 in the form of an inner dock.

Old Photograph Birgham Scotland

Old photograph of cottages, houses and people in Birgham in Berwickshire, Scotland. This Scottish village is in the parish of Eccles, near Coldstream and the River Tweed, close to Ednam, Kelso, Lempitlaw, Leitholm and Sprouston as well as Carham and Wark, in Northumberland, England. The Treaty of Birgham, also known as the Treaty of Salisbury, was two treaties intended to secure the independence of Scotland after Alexander III died without issue in 1286. Guaranteed by England's King Edward I, the purpose of the treaty was to put to rest the competing claims of the House of Balliol and the House of Bruce. The treaties were drawn up in Salisbury in 1289 and Birgham, Berwickshire, in 1290. They were negotiated and signed by the Guardians of Scotland, who were ruling in the Maid of Norway's absence due to her age. Under the condition that the heiress of Scotland, Margaret, the Maid of Norway, would marry Edward's son, Scotland was to remain " separate and divided from England according to its rightful boundaries, free in itself and without subjection. " The treaty specified that even though a wife's possessions should become the husbands upon marriage, in this case it would not. It stated upon Margaret, the Maid of Norway and Edward's marriage that the Churches of Scotland and England were to be made separate, that the owner of lands in Scotland shall not have them disinherited. It made sure the both the parliaments of England and Scotland were to remain separate and not be held outside of their respective country. The treaty proved ineffectual, both because Margaret died en route to Scotland in 1290, and because English negotiators had included enough reservations to render the independence clauses useless. In 1291 Edward summoned the Scottish nobles to meet him at Norham on Tweed and styled himself overlord of Scotland, Lord Paramount of Scotland, and challenged claimants to the Scottish throne to recognise himself as a feudal superior.

Old Photograph Allanton Scotland

Old photograph of cottages, houses and people in Allanton in Berwickshire, Borders, Scotland.

Allanton lies one mile south of Chirnside and six miles west of the border with Northumberland, England. Its closest market towns are Duns and Berwick-upon-Tweed. The village stands high above the confluence of the Whiteadder and Blackadder Waters, the site of two bridges. The village was traditionally part of the estate of the Blackadders, a powerful border clan. The Blackadder family were an integral part of the constant Borders feuds, and opportunistically extended their lands by grants from King James II of Scotland. These were bestowed as a reward for repelling English raids with great ferocity. In 1518 the Borders holdings of Clan Blackadder were taken into the family of Home, now the Home Robertson family, by the enforced marriage of the daughters of Robert Blackadder to younger sons of Home of Wedderburn. A junior branch of the Blackadders, Lairds of Tulliallan disputed the succession, but without success. Sir John Home was created Baronet of Blackadder in 1671. Wedderburn Castle is still owned by Robert Blackadder's descendent, Georgina Home-Robertson.

The now demolished Old Toll House at Lamberton, situated just across the border from England, was notorious for its irregular marriages. From 1798 to 1858 keepers of the Toll, as well as questionable men of the cloth used to marry couples in the same fashion as at the more familiar Gretna Green. The now ruined Lamberton Kirk was the church where, in July 1503, Margaret Tudor the daughter of King Henry VII of England, met the representatives of King James IV of Scotland, and traditionally is said to have married him by proxy, thus leading to the eventual succession of James VI to the English throne.
