Pregnant Lady with husband, ca. 1880s

The aim of The Early Photographers of Perthshire is to shine a light on the Big County’s part in Scottish photographic history. It is also a celebration and archive of the contributions, great and small, made by Perthshire’s early photographers. Be they, David Octavius Hill, “one of the finest calotypists in photographic history”; Jessie Mann and Lady Kinnaird, “rivals for the accolade of Scotland’s first female photographer”; or James Moyes, “who seems to have combined his commercial photography business with his job as a gravedigger”
