Stock Photography: Lothians
Musselburgh
I have amassed a large collection of Stock Photography images which previously could be accessed via a link to Photographers Direct.com. This was a well-established website with well over one million images on record, supplied by thousands of photographers worldwide. However, in early 2019 the site folded without warning or explanation, I suspect as the result of a downturn in the Stock Photography market.
As an alternative means of displaying my stock images, I am in the early stages of creating a series of thumbnail gallery pages featuring shots previously held by PD in addition to some of those included in the main posts. Due to the large number of JPEG files I have not attempted to re-keyword individual files as before but have grouped them under general headings so that they can be accessed via a general search. Larger categories will be sub-divided and some subjects may be duplicated on one or more pages.

Please note that all my images are subject to copyright. They are not free to use and have been embedded with a digital watermark. Also bear in mind that the thumbnails displayed are relatively low-quality, may be under or over exposed, and do not fully reflect the standard of images produced from the high-resolution files supplied to clients.
Musselburgh is the largest settlement in East Lothian, Scotland, on the coast of the Firth of Forth, 5 miles east of Edinburgh city centre. Located near the mouth of the River Esk, Fisherrow was once an important fishing village, crammed with herring boats, but nowadays yachts, dinghies and other small leisure craft are the only vessels in permanent residence. A Roman fort used to stand on the high ground to the east of the river and they constructed the first harbour here. Fisherrow marks the western terminus of the John Muir Way, a long-distance walking route that links the various communities along the East Lothian coast.

The open-air Prestongrange Industrial Heritage Museum is situated on the main coast road between Musselburgh and Prestonpans in East Lothian. Buildings include a brickworks and kiln, a glass works and power house. There is also a winding engine, beam engine and a number of railway and mining related items. Overall Prestongrange makes a good venue for would-be photographers with the chance to shoot some unusual subject matter.
