EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of The Village, Gellyburn, in Murthly, Perthshire, Scotland, as it appeared in 1913. Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Perthshire, this quaint village exudes a sense of tranquility and charm that has endured through the decades. The photograph showcases a collection of traditional Scottish cottages, each with its unique character and charm. Smoke billows from the chimneys, indicating the warmth and comfort within, while the lush green landscape surrounding the village adds to its idyllic setting. The Village of Gellyburn, located near the town of Perth, has a rich history that dates back to the Middle Ages. Its name is believed to have originated from the Gaelic words 'geal' meaning 'bright' and 'bun' meaning 'hill', referring to the village's location on a bright hill overlooking the valley below. In 1913, life in the village would have been simple and rural. Farming and agriculture would have been the primary sources of income for the residents, with many also working in the nearby forests or quarries. The village would have been a close-knit community, with neighbors relying on one another for support and companionship. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, providing us with a valuable insight into the history and heritage of The Village, Gellyburn, and the beautiful Perthshire countryside. It serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and close-knit communities that once defined rural Scotland.
