Wanderings with a Camera in Scotland - The Photography of Erskine Beveridge

facebook

In the early 1960s, in the course of recording a Dunfermline mill building that was scheduled for demolition, RCAHMS surveyors discovered an incredible collection of over 750 glass plate negatives. Taken between 1880 and 1919, the photographs show Scotland on the brink of major social and economic change. From black houses in the Western Isles and Highland crofts in the shadow of Ben Nevis, to remote castles in Argyll and busy harbour views in Fife, they are a remarkable record of a bygone era.

The photographs are the work of Erskine Beveridge (1851-1920) the owner of a Dunfermline based company that specialised in the production of fine table and bed linen. A wealthy and influential man, Beveridge was an enthusiastic historian and archaeologist and would become one of the finest amateur photographers of his generation. He recognised the power of the camera to record his surroundings and was fascinated with landscapes, boats, buildings and archaeological monuments. His images are not just fine, well composed representations of their subjects, but also convey a sense of what made Scotland’s places meaningful to him. It is this quality which transforms many of his photographs into real works of art.

Published in paperback in May 2014, Wanderings with a Camera in Scotland showcases lavish reproductions of over 170 of Erskine Beveridge’s finest photographs, along with a fascinating biographical introduction by RCAHMS Head of Collections, Lesley Ferguson.

Wanderings with a Camera in Scotland

In the early 1960s, in the course of recording a Dunfermline mill building that was scheduled for demolition, RCAHMS surveyors discovered an incredible collection of over 800 glass plate negatives. Taken between 1880 and 1919, the photographs are a remarkable record of a bygone era, ranging from black houses in the Western Isles and Highland crofts in the shadow of Ben Nevis, to remote castles in Argyll and busy harbour views in Fife. 

The photographs were the work of Erskine Beveridge (1851-1920), a wealthy Dunfermline industrialist - and enthusiastic historian and archaeologist - who became one of the finest amateur photographers of his generation. Fascinated by landscapes, boats, buildings and archaeological monuments, Beveridge's images are not just fine, well composed representations of their subjects, but also convey a sense of what made Scotland's places meaningful to him. 

With a biographical introduction by RCAHMS Head of Collections Lesley Ferguson, this stunning volume highlights one of the nation's earliest and most remarkable photographic collections.

Wanderings with a Camera in Scotland: The Photography of Erskine Beveridge

By (author) lesley m. ferguson.

Erskine Beveridge (1851-1920) was the owner of a Dunfermline based company specialising in the production of fine table and bed linen, with an active interest and enthusiasm for archaeology and history. He undertook archaeological excavations in North Uist, carried out detailed surveys of graveyard monuments in Fife, compiled a Bibliography of Dunfermline and West Fife, published volumes on Coll and Tiree, and North Uist, and studied place names and folklore. Beveridge was also a keen amateur photographer, taking pictures on his travels throughout Scotland. From black houses in the Western Isles and Highland crofts in the shadow of Ben Nevis, to remote castles in Argyll and harbour views in Fife, the full collection held in RCAHMS contains some 750 of his original glass plate negatives, which were saved from destruction in a mill building in the 1960s. This lavishly illustrated volume highlights a selection of the finest photographs taken by Beveridge between 1880 and 1919. With a biographical introduction by Lesley Ferguson, ‘The Photography of Erskine Beveridge’ illustrates one of Scotland’s most remarkable photographic collections.

About this product

Product information.

  • Erskine Beveridge (1851-1920) was the owner of a Dunfermline based company specialising in the production of fine table and bed linen, with an active interest and enthusiasm for archaeology and history. He undertook archaeological excavations in North Uist, carried out detailed surveys of graveyard monuments in Fife, compiled a Bibliography of Dunfermline and West Fife, published volumes on Coll and Tiree, and North Uist, and studied place names and folklore. Beveridge was also a keen amateur photographer, taking pictures on his travels throughout Scotland. From black houses in the Western Isles and Highland crofts in the shadow of Ben Nevis, to remote castles in Argyll and harbour views in Fife, the full collection held in RCAHMS contains some 750 of his original glass plate negatives, which were saved from destruction in a mill building in the 1960s. This lavishly illustrated volume highlights a selection of the finest photographs taken by Beveridge between 1880 and 1919. With a biographical introduction by Lesley Ferguson, Wanderings with a Camera in Scotland illustrates one of Scotland's most remarkable photographic collections.
