Postcards of Central Gatehouse
 
Postcards of old Gatehouse came into usage during the early years of the 20th Century. We have collected a few hundred of these and have presented scans of many of them here.
Below is the earliest use of a postcard in Gatehouse that we know of. It was sent from Anwoth Manse on 20th July 1901 and arrived at its destination in Montrose the following morning.

Here is a souvenir set of 10 old black and white postcards that was sold by Kirkpatrick, the Gatehouse newsagent.
Click on the cover to see these cards.
 

We have arranged our postcards into a number of different categories.

We would welcome comments if you think there are differences between some cards to which we might draw attention, particularly if we are showing a similar scene taken at different times. Help in dating the scenes depicted on cards would be most welcome.

Aerial Views

 

 

 

 

The above views were taken from postcards. Aerial photos of Gatehouse that are not from postcards can be seen here

In 1978 a flight was organised to photograph mainly individual properties. A number of people in the town have photos of their own property that were taken on this flight. We have acquired a number of these photos which can be seen here.
