Old Photographs Loch an Eilein Castle Scotland

Old photograph of the castle in Loch an Eilein South of Aviemore, South of Inverness, Scotland. This Scottish castle is said to have once been the property of Alexander Stewart the Wolf of Badenoch. The Jacobites, retreating from Cromdale in 1690, besieged the castle, which was held by Dame Grizel Mor Grant, widow of the fifth laird Grant. At this time the castle was connected to the shore by a causeway. The causeway was lost when the water level in the loch was raised in the 18th century.

Old Photograph Glass Street Markinch Fife Scotland

Old photograph of cars, shop, houses and St. Drostans Church on Glass Street in Markinch village in Fife, Scotland. The parish church, prominently situated on a mound at the highest point of the town, and dedicated to the Pictish St. Drostan, is recorded in documents from the 11th century on, though it may well be of earlier origin. Though the body of the church is a plain Georgian " preaching box " of 1786, the adjoining tower is medieval, and may date to the late 11th-early 12th centuries. Of exceptionally fine masonry, it is very similar to the tower of St. Rule's Church in St Andrews.

Old Photograph Nelson Street Tayport Fife Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and people on Nelson Street in Tayport, Fife, across from Dundee, Scotland. The settlement was originally called Partan Craig, Gaelic for " Crab Rock ". Over the following two hundred years English usage eroded many Gaelic place names in eastern Scotland and Partan Craig had become known as Portincragge by 1415 and as Port-in-Craige by the end of the 15th century. In 1598 the settlement received its burgh charter in the name of Ferry-Port on Craig. In the 1850s, the Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee Railway Company established a railway service running from Edinburgh to Aberdeen that passed through Ferry-Port on Craig. They used the simpler name of " Tayport " for the town. This less cumbersome name soon caught on and over time, Tayport replaced Ferry-Port on Craig as the more common name.

Tour Scotland Winter Photograph Video The Queen’s View Highland Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland Winter video of The Queen’s View overlooking Loch Tummel near Pitlochry, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish viewpoint was made famous by Queen Victoria in 1866. It is also claimed that the view was originally named after Queen Isabella, wife of Robert the Bruce. Isabella of Mar was the first wife of Robert Bruce VII, Earl of Carrick. Isabella died before her husband was crowned, as Robert I, King of Scotland. She and her husband were the grandparents of Robert II, King of Scotland. Isabella was the daughter of Domhnall I, Earl of Mar and Elena, daughter of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. Isabella's father was evidently an adherent of Robert Bruce V, Lord of Annandale, a man who staked a claim to the Scottish throne. The close relationship between the Domhnall's family and the Bruces is evidenced by two marriages. One was that between Isabella and Robert Bruce VII, Earl of Carrick, a grandson of Robert Bruce V. Domhnall's son and comital successor, Gartnait, married a sister of Robert Bruce VII. The marriage of Robert Bruce VII and Isabella probably took place in the 1290s. The union produced a single child, a daughter named Marjorie, who was born in about 1296. Following Isabella's death, Robert Bruce VII married his second wife, Elizabeth de Burgh. Isabella's daughter, Marjorie, married Walter Stewart, Steward of Scotland, and their son eventually reigned as Robert II, King of Scotland.

Old Photograph Portencross Castle Ayrshire Scotland

Old photograph of Portencross Castle near Farland Head in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The site has been fortified since the 13th Century. The present building is thought to date from the 14th Century and later, when the castle was moved from the nearby Auld Hill to its present site overlooking the harbour. The castle is believed to be the last mainland resting place for many former Scottish kings. Between the times of Cináed mac Ailpín, 810 to 858, through to the reign of Máel Coluim mac Donnchada, 1030 to 1093, the bodies of former kings were taken by road from the east of Scotland, and from Portencross they were ferried to Iona where they would be buried. The castle was rebuilt in the 14th century, not on Auld Hill, but instead on a rock promontory at the bottom of the hill, overlooking the Firth of Clyde. From this location, King Robert II signed several more Royal Charters, and the castle remained occupied until the roof was blown off during a violent storm in 1739. The castle walls still remain in place today, and the building has recently been opened to the public, with visitors able to access a ground floor room, the main hall, and the roof.

Old Photograph Cookney Parish Church

Old photograph of the parish church in Cookney, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This Scottish church is perched on a prominent hill, and is visible for considerable distance. The present structure was erected in 1885, although the original Cookney Church was founded on this site in the year 1816. The kirk is within view of the ancient track way of the Causey Mounth which was constructed in medieval times to make passable the only available route across the coastal region of the Grampian Mounth from points south from Stonehaven to Aberdeen. This ancient cattle drovers road specifically connected the River Dee crossing, where the present Bridge of Dee is situated, via Muchalls Castle and Stonehaven to the south. The route was that taken by William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal and the Marquess of Montrose when they led a Covenanter army of 9000 men in the first battle of the Civil War in 1639.
