"Here is the only other photo I've been able to find of my great grandparents, Alexander and Jane Pringle, and their horse, Atholl. I guess this was taken around 1910. They seem to have got dressed up in their finery - and bulled up the carriage and the horse especially for the photo session - particularly my great grandmother's hat. They look so proud. They had come from absolute poverty forty odd years earlier - and here they are sitting in their fine carriage. It's difficult to know here the picture was taken - probably in the city, as there is a pavement. Looking at the background, and knowing where they lived, it could be around the Meadows or Bruntsfield. There is no photographer's name - just references on the back probably from the person who mounted it on card." Bryan Gourlay, Biggar, Lanarkshire, Scotland: July 17, 2006 |
