We have another superb selection of old photographs which come from the Farming Life archives.
These photographs relate to the Auld Lammas Fair, there are 30 in total which come from the archives down through the year.
We were wondering if any of our readers might be able to identify those in the photographs.
Have a look through this selection and let us know, drop us a comment, or email [email protected].
In the weeks and months, we hope to bring regular Retro pictures for readers to enjoy.
You can find more of our videos here.
