A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Auldhame like this:
Aldham or Haldame, a decayed village and an ancient coast parish of N Haddingtonshire. The village stood ½ mile S of Tantallon Castle, and 3½ miles E by S of North Berwick: near it was the parish church (demolished 1770), in whose forerunner, according to the legend, one of St Baldred's three corpses was buried in 756. (See Bass.) The parish included the lands of Aldham and Scougal, granted with Tynninghame and three moreplaces to Durham by King Duncan (1093-94): it was united to Whitekirk in ...
the 17th century.
