A new rural life exhibition exploring the history of a former Perthshire village that disappeared half a century ago has gone on display
The exhibition, titled ‘A Lost Community: Muirton of Ardblair’, explores a traditional way of rural life that has all but vanished in Scotland and features rare photographic prints from 1893.
The once thriving village on the outskirts of Blairgowrie produced flax and linen, as well as turnips, oats, and potatoes, with residents living in simple cottages with earth floors, thatched roofs and no running water or electricity until the 1950s.
