Old Photographs Dalmeny Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of photographs of Dalmeny village located on the south side of the Firth of Forth, 1 mile south east of South Queensferry and 8 miles west of Edinburgh. The church was built around 1130, possibly by Gospatric, Earl of Dunbar, and is recognised as the finest Norman and Romanesque parish church still in use in Scotland, and one of the most complete in the United Kingdom. Besides the parish church, the most significant building is Dalmeny House a Gothic revival mansion. The first railway station here was on the South Queensferry branch of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway which opened on 1 March 1866. John Chesser was born on 18 September 1819 on the Dalmeny House estate, his elderly father, William Chesser being Clerk of Works there. After spending some years working on the Revesby House estate in Lincolnshire, England, he returned to Dalmeny to fill his father’s shoes on his death. Through his experience, in 1858, he then gained a post as Superintendent of Works at George Heriot’s School following the death of Alexander Black. This role included developing the huge swathes of land around the city owned by the Heriot Trust, particularly in the West End of Edinburgh, and also building ten Heriot Trust Schools around the city for the less privileged children to attend. He lived most of his later life at 1 Chalmers Street in southern Edinburgh. He died in Corstorphine, Edinburgh on 2 February 1892 and is buried in Cramond Kirkyard. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

Abandoned Fort Island - Inchgarvie
Read more:
INCHGARVIE, Scottish Gaelic for rough island Although now uninhabited, Inchgarvie has been inhabited throughout various periods of history. The first recorded time was in the late 15th century. Its profile and colour makes it look very much like a battleship from a distance.
(mixed media sources)
Local tradition has it that the island takes its name from the young herring, or garvies which sheltered in large shoals around its shores. Inchgarvie is a small, uninhabited island in the Firth of Forth and is dwarfed by the Forth Rail Bridge that runs along side the island., situated in the parish of Inverkeithing, county of Fife. This is a small islet in the Firth of Forth, about half a mile south Queensferry (Lothian) and double this distance from Queensferry (Fife), on the opposite shore of Linlithgow.
Ancient records show of Danish attacks on nearby islands, particularly Inchcolm as well as Fife and Lothian it may mean that it was used in some capacity by them. Whatever the case, it has had a castle, or fortification on it, from the Middle Ages to the present day, In the reign of James IV., a fort was erected here, which was latterly used as a state prison and is now in ruins. Although now uninhabited, Inchgarvie has been inhabited throughout various periods of history.
The first recorded time was in the late 15th century. The island became of renewed importance to the security of the Firth of Forth during the First and Second World Wars, during which, in combination with fortifications on Inchcolm, and gun emplacements on the mainland to the north (at North Queensferry) and to the south (at Dalmeny), it became a primary defence against air and submarine attacks on the Forth Rail Bridge and the Rosyth Dockyard. The gun emplacements were permanently manned throughout war.

The higher they build their barriers
The taller I become
The farther they push my goal away
The faster I will run
They can deny me
They can decide to turn and face away
No matter, cos there's..
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though it's doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
The more they refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
and hide behind walls of pain and doubt
it will come tumbling
Deny my place in time
This is the life that's mine
My light will shine so brightly
It will blind you, cos there's..
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though it's doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm going to do it anyway
I'm going to do it anyway
I'm going to do it anyway
I'm going to do it anyway
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though it's doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
I know that I can take it
Though it's doing me wrong, so wrong
I thought that my hope was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Something inside so strong

Sony a6300// Dundas Castle
I got asked to come and capture the essence of the castle in Scotland called Dundas Castle. This gave me a chance to test out my new Zhi Yun crane.
About Dundas Castle
Dundas Castle is a 15th-century castle, with substantial 19th-century additions by William Burn, in the Dalmeny parish of West Lothian, Scotland. The home of the Dundas family since the Middle Ages, it was sold in the late 19th century and is currently the residence of politician and businessman Sir Jack Stewart-Clark.

Places to see in ( South Queensferry - UK )
Queensferry, also called South Queensferry or simply The Ferry, is a town to the west of Edinburgh, Scotland, traditionally a royal burgh of West Lothian. It lies some ten miles to the north-west of Edinburgh city centre, on the shore of the Firth of Forth between the Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge. The prefix South serves to distinguish it from North Queensferry, on the opposite shore of the Forth. Both towns derive their name from the ferry service established by Queen Margaret in the 11th century, which continued to operate at the town until 1964, when the Road Bridge was opened.
A local fair dates from the 12th century. The modern fair, dating from the 1930s, takes place each August and includes the crowning of a local school-girl as the Ferry Fair Queen, a procession of floats, pipe bands, and competitive events such as the Boundary Race. The Fair also has a dedicated radio station, Jubilee1, which in May 2007 was awarded a licence to evolve into a full Public Service Community Station for North and South Queensferry.
Queensferry hosts the strange annual procession of the Burry Man during the Ferry Fair. This unique cultural event is over three hundred years old, and likely pagan in origin. The name 'Burry Man' almost certainly refers to the hooked fruits of the burdock plant - burrs - in which he is covered, although some have suggested that it is a corruption of 'Burgh Man', since the town is traditionally a royal burgh.
St Mary's Episcopal Church, also known as the Priory Church is the town's oldest building, built for the Carmelite Order of friars in the 1450s. It is the only medieval Carmelite church still in use in the British Isles, and is a category A listed building. After the Scottish Reformation of 1560 it served as the parish church until 1635. In 1890 it was reconsecrated for the Scottish Episcopal Church.
Black Castle is a house on the High Street built in 1626. When the original owner, a sea-captain, was lost at sea, his maid was accused of paying a beggar-woman to cast a spell. Both women were burned for witchcraft. Plewlands House is a 17th-century mansion in the centre of the village. It was restored in the 1950s as flats, and is now managed by the National Trust for Scotland. The Tolbooth, on the High Street, dates from the 17th century, with a clock-tower built in 1720.
The Hawes Inn, dating from the 17th century, lies east of Queensferry, almost under the Forth Bridge on its south side. It features in Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Kidnapped. Opposite the Hawes Inn is the pier which served the ferry (from which the town derives its name) until the opening of the Forth Road Bridge. The pier is now used by tourist boats including the ferry to Inchcolm.
South Queensferry Cemetery on Ferrymuir Lane at the south end of the town is unremarkable other than for the very large number of Royal Navy war graves, many for casualties of the Battle of Jutland (1916) who were brought here for burial. It is maintained and operated by the City of Edinburgh Council. It superseded the small graveyard on The Vennel in the centre of town.
Queensferry is served by Stagecoach's 40/40A/40B services which runs from Edinburgh Bus Station via Barnton and Dalmeny and Lothian Buses service 63 which also runs from Riccarton Campus via Sighthill, Gyle, Newbridge and Kirkliston. There is a service 22A from Tesco to Livingston operated by First Scotland East, an early morning service 21B connecting Ferrymuir (Tesco) to Harthill, and an X51 from Dunfermline to Livingston via Kirkliston and Queensferry. Ferry services run from the harbour to the islands within the Firth of Forth, including Inchcolm.
