EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, taken in 1908, captures the picturesque scene of Fishermens Cottages in Portincaple, located on the shores of Loch Long in Argyll, Scotland. The quaint cottages, still standing today, were once home to the local fishermen and their families. Their brightly colored doors and windows contrast beautifully with the tranquil waters of the loch, reflecting the clear blue sky above. In the distance, the view westward reveals the breathtaking scenery of Loch Goil, with its winding inlet and the rugged hills and forests that surround it. The serene waters of Loch Long, the longest sea loch in Scotland, stretch out in the foreground, mirroring the peaceful atmosphere of this idyllic fishing village. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its ability to transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of the fishermen and their families who once called Portincaple home. The image also highlights the natural beauty of the area, which has remained largely unchanged over the years, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The rich history of Portincaple and its surrounding areas is a testament to the enduring charm of rural Scotland. This photograph serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures that come with living in harmony with nature, and the importance of preserving the unique character of our communities for future generations to enjoy.
