Some photos can be extremely special, like this one taken around 1900, shared here by Jenny Day.

Pictured at Boathouse, near Blantyreferme are 4 generations of the same family. From the left, is Christina Brown (nee Braid), her mother Jessie Braid holding Chris Ford, daughter of Katie Ford (nee Brown) standing right, who was married to Andrew Ford jnr.
