More about this scene

An ancient royal burgh, Perth was once capital of Scotland. It was at Perth, in 1559, that John Knox gave his famous sermon from the pulpit of St John's Church, a powerful and emotive speech against idolatry which is regarded by many as the start of the Reformation in Scotland. Among documents preserved locally is a letter written by John Blair dated 7 November 1689. Blair was the postmaster-general, and in the letter he details the establishment of a postal service in the city.

Hawarden Terrace
I remember when I was a wee girl we lived at No. 5 Hawarden Terrace. I used to push my wee trike up the hill and then ride down to the bottom with my feet off the pedals, much to the horror of my mother. As an adult I realize now that there wasn't much of a hill on Hawarden Terrace, but back then it seemed SO STEEP! I also remember the allotments across from our house, and the Shand boys who used to take me inside and ...see more

Teenage Years
I was born and grew up in Perth, going to Caledonian Road Primary School and then to Perth High School. I lived in South Methven Street until I was about 12 when we moved to Muirton. My teenage years were spent visiting coffee bars (there were loads) with my friends, ice skating a couple of times a week, pictures on a Friday night and dancing in the City Hall. We later went to see pop groups who came to the City Hall. ...see more

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
