Old Photograph The Crown Hotel Strathaven Scotland

Old photograph of people standing outside the Crown Hotel on Green Street in Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Strathaven has a long history as a market town.

Old Photograph Kitchen Palace Dunfermline Fife Scotland

Old photograph of the kitchen in the Palace in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. Dunfermline was a favourite residence of many Scottish monarchs. Documented history of royal residence there begins in the 11th century with King Malcolm III who made it his capital. In 1589 the palace was given as a wedding present by the king, James VI, to Anne of Denmark after their marriage. She gave birth to three of their children there; Elizabeth, born 1596, Charles, born 1600 and Robert, born 1602. After the Union of Crowns in 1603, the removal of the Scottish court to London meant that the building came to be rarely visited by a monarch. The last monarch to occupy the palace was Charles II who stayed at Dunfermline in 1650 just before the Battle of Pitreavie. Soon afterwards, during the Cromwellian occupation of Scotland, the building was abandoned and by 1708 it had been unroofed.

Old Photograph Cottages Houses Harbour Crail East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and houses by the harbour in Crail, on the coast of the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Crail became a Royal Burgh in the 12th century. King Robert the Bruce granted permission to hold markets on a Sunday, in the Marketgait, where the Mercat Cross now stands. The decision caused such outrage in religious circles that John Knox delivered a sermon at Crail Parish Church damning the fishermen of the East Neuk for working on a Sunday. Despite the protests, the markets were a huge success and were amongst the largest in Europe. King James V, the father of Mary Queen of Scots, sent for his wife, Marie de Guise, whom he had recently married by proxy in Paris, and she landed in Crail in June 1538, accompanied by a navy of ships under Lord Maxwell, and 2,000 lords and barons whom her new husband had sent from Scotland to fetch her away, Queen Mary landed at Crail in Fife on 10 June 1538, just over a year since the landing of Queen Madeleine. She was formally received by the king at St Andrews a few days later with pageants and plays performed in her honour, and a great deal of generally blithe rejoicing, before being remarried the next morning in the Cathedral of St Andrews.

Old Photographs High Street Crail East Neuk of Fife Scotland

Old photograph of cottage, houses and horse and carriage on the High Street in Crail, on the coast of the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Crail became a Royal Burgh in 1178 in the reign of King William the Lion. Robert the Bruce granted permission to hold markets on a Sunday, in the Marketgait, where the Mercat Cross now stands in Crail. This practice was still continuing in the 16th century, causing concern in the freshly puritanical circles of Edinburgh such that John Knox, visiting Crail on his way to St Andrews in 1559, was moved to deliver a sermon in Crail Parish Church, damning the fishermen of the East Neuk for working on a Sunday. Despite the protests, the markets continued and were amongst the largest in Europe for their time. King James V, the father of Mary Queen of Scots, sent for his wife, Mary of Guise, whom he had recently married by proxy in Paris, and she landed in Crail in June 1538. Built around a harbour, Crail has a particular wealth of vernacular buildings from the 17th to early 19th centuries. The harbour is known to have been substantially complete by 1583. The extension of 1828 to the west pier of Crail Harbour is the work of Robert Stevenson. Crial railway station on the Thornton Junction to St Andrews to Leuchars Junction was opened on 1 September 1883 by the Anstruther and St Andrews Railway. It closed to regular passenger traffic, with the St Andrews to Leven portion of the line, on 6 September 1965.

Old Photograph West Coast Shetland Islands Scotland

Old photograph of the West coast of mainland Shetland Islands, Scotland. The expanding population of Scandinavia led to a shortage of available resources and arable land there and led to a period of Viking expansion, the Norse gradually shifting their attention from plundering to invasion. Shetland was colonised during the late 8th and 9th centuries, the fate of the existing indigenous population being uncertain. Modern Shetlanders have almost identical proportions of Scandinavian matrilineal and patrilineal genetic ancestry, suggesting that the islands were settled by both men and women in equal measure.

Old Photograph Quendale Shetland Islands Scotland

Old photograph of Quendale located on the South West tip of the South coast of mainland Shetland Islands, Scotland. This is where the Braer oil tanker ran aground in January 1993. It was en route from Bergen, Norway to Quebec, Canada, laden with 85,000 tonnes of Norwegian Gullfaks crude oil. At first was feared that the ship would founder near Horse Island, and the experience of Aegean Sea which burst into flames shortly after grounding led the coastguard to persuade the Greek captain Alexandros S. Gkelis to abandon ship. However, because of strong North West local currents, Braer moved against the prevailing wind and missed Horse Island, drifting towards Quendale Bay. Fortunately for Shetland, the Gulfaks crude Braer was carrying was not a typical North Sea oil. Gulfaks crude is lighter and more easily biodegradable than other North Sea crude oils, and this, in combination with some of the worst storms seen in Shetland,, naturally dispersing the oil by wave action and evaporation, prevented the event becoming an even bigger disaster.

Old Photographs Kingshouse Hotel Glencoe Scotland

Old photograph of Kingshouse Hotel in Glencoe, Scotland. The Kings House Hotel is a remote inn and hotel at the eastern end of Glen Coe at the junction with Glen Etive in the Scottish Highlands. It is sited in an isolated position, about one mile to the East of the head of the glen towards Rannoch Moor, and faces towards Buachaille Etive Mor mountain. It is called the King's House because British troops were billeted here following the Battle of Culloden in 1746. In the 18th century, a strategic military road crossed the River Etive at this point by the Inn. The military route, which was built by the British army in the aftermath of the 1745 Jacobite rising, then headed towards Glen Coe before ascending the Devil's Staircase to Kinlochleven. Parts of the former military route are now used as the West Highland Way. In late 1746, the buildings became barracks for Crown forces under the command of the Duke of Cumberland . The inn was used as a base by troops conducting operations to crush or capture any remaining Jacobites in the western Highlands. By the late 18th century, the building had reverted to its original use as a coaching inn serving travellers that came from Ballachulish to Loch Lomond via Tyndrum. In 1803, the inn was visited by Dorothy Wordsworth, the sister of Romantic poet William Wordsworth.

Old Photograph Storm Waves Portpatrick Scotland

Old photograph storm waves at the harbour in Portpatrick, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Portpatrick Harbour is normally ideally situated for visiting boats to and from Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Clyde and Highlands sailing grounds. Portpatrick village was founded on fishing, operating from the sandy, crescent shaped harbour that remains the focal point of the village today. Attempts were made to render it safer from the strong North Channel gales. In 1770 John Smeaton, the leading civil engineer of his day, was appointed to make further improvements. He constructed breakwaters that turned the sandy bay into an enclosed harbour. Strong westerly winds and waves eventually broke through this construction, and in 1821 John Rennie was appointed to create a new harbour defined by two new piers. Money and weather problems meant that these piers were never finished. The calm inner basin, now home to the port's lifeboat, was constructed between 1861 and 1863, too late to prevent the government switching the mail service to boats that plied between Stranraer and Larne. The harbour retains a fleet of fishing craft, a Navtex and a lifeboat station.
