This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

My grandmother lived at No.25 Byres Road, a short walk from the Botanical Gardens and spent many Sunday afternoons examining the gardens with her siblings & parents. She also was courted there by my grandfather-to-be. In 2000, I was able to view the gardens building (it was unfortunately closed on my visit); however, I was able to take a few photos of this place that lived in her memories long after they emigrated to Canada in 1904.
