CANMORE - Unidentified Images

[WilmaM]

CANMORE - National Record of the Historical Environment, are currently trying to put their vast collection of photographs on-line, some have lost any identifying details so are appealing for the public to help.

The Scottish Development Department collection consists of approximately 70,000 plastic photographic negatives and some printed photographs, as well as additional reference documentation in the form of ‘record sheets’. These photographs and corresponding records sheets were captured by Scottish Development Department investigators, predominately in the 1970s and 1980s. Photographs show both urban and rural areas throughout Scotland, including cities, towns and villages.

This collection was digitised as part of our three-year Digital Project, with the aim to make ‘invisible’ archives visible. Unfortunately some of these images do not have any additional 'metadata' - information about themselves. We have collated some of these images in this gallery. Further information about the Digital Project can be found here: https://canmore.org.uk/content/archive- ... 018-2021-0

If you are able to support our archive by identifying any of these images, please get in contact with us at archives@hes.scot.

This gallery will be regularly updated, so please continue to visit and identify new images.

I've managed to identify quite a few [ with help from the family] but there are lots more mystery buildings that I'm sure somebody must recognise. Some are quite generic rural cottages that could be almost anywhere, but others are have quite distinctive features. I'm sure the eagle eyes of the Talking Scotties will unravel some of them.

This project is still ongoing over at Canmore

But we could really do with some extra pairs of eyes.

I've identified hundreds of them, with considerable help from the family, but they seem to be getting trickier.
