Swing Bridge and Buildings Some of the people in this group on Portobello Beach don't seem to be very happy! There is an interesting variety of headgear for the beach, including the man in the background wearing a bowler hat! |

Alexander Ayton Thank you to Paul Mottram for allowing me to reproduce this image from his collection of glass plates by Alex Ayton. This collection of Ayton glass plates includes many photos taken on the East Coast between Buckie on the Moray Firth in Scotland and Scarborough in Yorkshire, England. Alex Ayton had studios in Edinburgh from 1875, He was member of of EPS (Edinburgh Photographic Society) from 1883 onwards, and was elected President of the society in 1894 but died, suddenly, later that year. |
