Old photograph of Port Seton, East Lothian, Scotland. Cockenzie and Port Seton is a unified town on the coast of the Firth of Forth, four miles north east of Musselburgh. The burgh of Cockenzie was created in 1591 by King James VI of Scotland. Port Seton harbour was built by George Seton, 11th Lord Seton between 1655 and 1665.

Although the fishing industry has declined in recent years the harbour at Port Seton still retains a small fleet of vessels, mainly fishing for prawns. In the past Cockenzie was also involved in the salt making and coal mining industries.

Tour Scotland photograph of Croft Moraig Stone Circle, Perthshire, Scotland. Croft Moraig, near Aberfeldy in Perthshire, with its concentric rings and outliers on an artificial platform.

Some neolithic pottery was found related to this phase of the site. A rubble bank was created outside the stones and cup-marked stones added that aligned with the southern moonset and the midsummer sunrise.

July 28th Photograph Dupplin Cross Dunning Scotland


July 28th photograph of the Dupplin Cross in Dunnning, Perthshire, Scotland. The Dupplin Cross is a carved, monumental Pictish stone, which dates from around 800A.D. It was first recorded by Thomas Pennant in 1769, on a hillside in Strathearn, near Forteviot and Dunning. It can be viewed in St Serf's church in Dunning. The Dupplin Cross is a high cross, that is a free standing, stone cross. While relatively common in Ireland, Northumbria and in Dál Riata, such crosses are not known earlier in the lands of the Picts. Early records report that a second cross stood on a hill above Invermay, also overlooking Forteviot, but this is now lost, and the records do not provide any detail of its exact form. The cross is carved from Old Red Sandstone, the cross stands about 2.5 metres tall, 1 metre broad over the arms of the cross. It is carved with various scenes, religious, martial and traditional Pictish animal carvings. The cross contains a partially legible inscription, of which only the name CUSTANTIN FILIUS FIRCUS can be read. This name is taken as the Latin form of the early 9th century Pictish king Caustantín son of Fergus (circa. 793–820).

July 28th Photograph Angels At Work In Scotland


July 28th photograph of " Angels at work " in Tullibardine Distillery, Perthshire, Scotland. Distillers age their whisky for many years in barrels. Over time, some whisky is lost to evaporation. They refer to this loss of spirits as “ The Angel’s Share. ” Each time a barrel is filled, a measure of this liquid seeps into the wood and is lost forever. Thus the words on the barrel stating that " Wheesht, Angels at work. " Wheesht means Quiet.

July 25th Photograph Hamilton Hall St Andrews Scotland


July 25th photograph of Hamilton Hall, St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. Golf Scotland. Located behind the 18th Green of the Old course, the building that would become Hamilton Hall was originally opened as a hotel in 1895 to capitalise on the rapid expansion of St Andrews as a popular tourist destination. The Grand Hotel was in a prime location to take advantage of two of the city's attractions: golf and sea bathing. Indeed, the hotel soon became very successful and even managed to attract royal clientele in the early years of the twentieth century. However, the hotel was requisitioned by the armed forces during the Second World War and never reopened as a hotel. Instead the hotel was acquired by the University of St Andrews and was opened as a hall of residence in 1949.In December 2009 Hamilton hall was aqcuired by US businessman Herb Kohler who intends on restoring the building.
