Tighness, Arrochar, Head of Loch Long, Scotland - A Timeless Valentine's Scene from 1949 This photograph, taken in 1949 by Terry Parker, showcases the picturesque village of Tighness in Arrochar, situated at the head of Loch Long in Scotland. The tranquil waters of the loch reflect the peaceful scene, with the village's quaint cottages nestled among the lush greenery and rugged terrain. The image transports us back in time, evoking a sense of nostalgia and romance. The village of Tighness, meaning 'house by the narrows' in Gaelic, is located at the northern end of Loch Long, which stretches for over 20 miles from its headwaters in the Arrochar Alps to the Firth of Clyde. The village's charming cottages, many of which date back to the 18th and 19th centuries, are interspersed with lush gardens and rolling hills. This photograph, originally a real postcard, was taken in 1949 and offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The absence of modern conveniences and the simplicity of daily life are evident in the scene, making it an ideal choice for a Valentine's Day card. The image's timeless beauty and romantic atmosphere make it a perfect reminder of the enduring power of nature and the passing of time. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the simple pleasures in life and the beauty that can be found in the smallest of moments. The village of Tighness, nestled at the head of Loch Long in Scotland, remains a testament to the enduring allure of the Scottish landscape and the memories it holds for generations past and present.
