Victorian Scotland

Enter into the life of a Victorian family through a study of photographs from their family album.

Photograph of a Victorian picnic in the Argyll countryside

Alexander McCallum Webster made his own camera which he used to take photographs of his family, friends and servants.

During the summer of 1866, he took a series of photographs on the family estate of Invercreran in Argyll which he mounted into an album called ‘Our Glen’.

Using these photographs as a starting point, pupils will learn about family life and activities in 19th century Scotland.
