Enjoy a virtual walk around Davidson’s Mains and experience current day colour photographs transitioning back to photographs and post cards of the same scene in the 1900s.

Old maps, some stats and a little bit of history set the scene and postulate the origin of the earlier village name, Muttonhole. Then just sit back and appreciate the mesmerizing images and informative talk.  Neil McIntosh retired in 2010 after a career in the electronics manufacturing industry in Central Scotland with Ferranti, Marconi and BAE Systems.  His first big project in retirement was to build a Hornby model railway layout in his attic and produced several movies of “Hornby through the Eras” uploaded to YouTube with real locomotive sounds and music of the era.
