in M&T Scott.

Thank you to Niall Scott for
doing some research into photographers named Scott, then writing: |
Miss N B Scott
"The list
of professional photographers on the EdinPhoto web site includes
a Miss NB Scott listed as being a professional photographer at 129 Gilmore
Place, 1919.
That address rang bells and after checking I
found that this was Miss Helen Beattie Scott
was a great grand aunt of mine (1871-1940). She was the daughter of
George Scott of Robertson & Scott,
Advertising Agents
She appears as being an 'Assistant
Photographer' in the 1891 census:
-
In 1901 she was a Retoucher
- In 1907 when her aunt died she was living at
129, Gilmore Place.
-
In 1911 she was a photographic retoucher.
- In
1923 she appears to have emigrated to Canada but returned to Edinburgh
- In 1940 she died in Edinburgh." |
M&T Scott
Thomas Scott
"The list
of professional photographers on the EdinPhoto web site also includes
the following photographic studios at 36 George Street:
- 1885-91:
M&T Scott
- 1889-91:
Thomas Scott
I cannot make a link from Miss NB Scott to
either M&T Scott or Thomas Scott, but there is a coincidence here, as the
above Robertson & Scott started life in 36, George Street." |
