How to explore the collection
We have curated the lantern slide collection so that searching using keywords for a location, a topic or type of landscape will allow you to appreciate the range of historical images. Try a search for a county or town, for a topic such as stiles, commons or rivers and see what you can discover.
For many of the images we have provided a precise grid reference, a Geograph photography project reference and also a link to the National Library of Scotland maps.
