Old Photograph The Standing Stones of Stenness Orkney Scotland

Old photograph of The Standing Stones of Stenness, Orkney, Scotland. Even in the 18th century this site was associated with traditions and rituals, by then relating to Norse gods. It was visited by Sir Walter Scott in 1814. Other antiquarians documented the stones and recorded local traditions and beliefs about them. One stone, known as the " Odin Stone " was pierced with a circular hole, and was used by local couples for plighting engagements by holding hands through the gap. It was also associated with other ceremonies and believed to have magical power.

Old Photograph Fisherman's Cottage Buchanhaven Peterhead Scotland

Old photograph of a fisherman's Cottage in Buchanhaven, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This old fishing village was established in 1760 by the then landowner Ferguson of Pitfour. James Ferguson, Lord Pitfour, born 1700, died 25 June 1777, was a Scottish advocate and second Laird of Pitfour, a large estate in Buchan. His flourishing law practice was sited opposite Parliament House in Edinburgh. He became Dean of the Faculty of Advocates in 1722 and was elevated to the bench, becoming Lord Pitfour, in 1764. Pitfour was described as one of the greatest lawyers in the country. However, by the time he became a judge he was past his prime intellectually and thus did not make as much of an impact in that role. A Jacobite sympathiser, he is best known for his defence of rebels standing trial at Carlisle after the Jacobite risings.
