Old Photographs Loch Achray Scotland

Old photograph of Loch Achray, a small freshwater loch located west of Callander, Trossachs, Scotland. This Scottish loch was for a time the home of James " Beag " Stewart, born 1410, died 1470, of Baldorran, the son of James Mor Stewart, known as " James the Fat ", who fled into exile in Ireland when his father Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany was executed for treason by King James I of Scotland in 1425. James the Fat would never return to Scotland, and he was unable to inherit the Albany estates, but James " Beag " Stewart was able to secure a royal pardon and return to Scotland. He is the ancestor of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich on Lochearnside in old Perthshire.
