Description
"Nethy Bridge Scotland. Cottage where a policeman was murdered. Camped a few hundred yards away from it." Landscape view of a small pond, with trees and shrubs around it. In the middle of the image, on the other side of the pond, is a dilapidated wooden cottage and outhouse. There are two children sitting in front of the cottage. The police constable was Thomas King killed by a poacher called Allan Macallum, whose cottage it was, on the 20th of December 1898. This collection of photographs, possibly, belonged to Dr Karl Uffman who studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and joined the Kikuyu mission from 1901 to 1905. He was the son of Dr Henry Uffman who ran the Leprosy Asylum in Purulia, West Bengal.
