Old photograph of three generations of fishwives in Newhaven in Edinburgh, Scotland. This Scottish village played a part in the birth of photography. David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson did many studies of the fishwives of Newhaven. Often the wives and daughters of fishermen, fishwives were notoriously loud and foul mouthed, as noted in the expression, To swear like a fishwife. One reason for their outspokenness is that their wares were highly perishable and so lost value if not sold quickly. Fishwives in fishing villages such as Cullercoats and Newhaven were noted for their beauty, hardiness and industry and were celebrated by artists and royalty.

Old photograph of a family in Dalry in North Ayrshire, Scotland. On the 8th Nov 1576, midwife Bessie Dunlop, resident of Lynne, in Dalry, was accused of sorcery and witchcraft. She answered her accusers that she received information on prophecies or to the whereabouts of lost goods from a Thomas Reid, a former barony officer in Dalry who died at the Battle of Pinkie some 30 years before. She said she first met him while walking between her own house and the yard of Monkcastle, and after a discussion he then disappeared through a hole in a wall or dyke, apparently too small for a normal person to pass through. She said she was trained by her " familiar " on how to make and use ointments to heal livestock and people. She was said to have cured and advised various people from poor children to gentry. As a " wise woman " her strange efforts at the time attracted the attention of the law. Her abilities were more akin to today’s current psychics, and with an understanding of medicinal herbs, she was identified in a time of witchcraft hysteria. It resulted in a conviction and the tragic outcome was that she was burnt at the stake. at Castle Hill in Edinburgh in 1576.
