Step back in time to the Victorian era in the Scottish Highlands with this photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage image transports us to a croft, a small-scale farm common in the Scottish Highlands during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The croft, with its quaint stone walls and thatched roof, is nestled amidst the rugged, rolling hills and lush greenery of the Scottish countryside. The scene is set in the evening, with the warm glow of a lantern illuminating the area around the croft. A farmer, dressed in traditional Victorian attire, stands outside, his weathered face etched with the lines of hard work and experience. In his hands, he holds a lantern, its light casting long shadows on the ground. The farmer's crofter's crook, a traditional tool used for herding livestock, leans against the wall nearby. The tranquil scene is a testament to the rural lifestyle of the time, with the simple pleasures of farm life on full display. The crofting community was a vital part of Scottish society during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these hardworking individuals. The crofters were self-sufficient farmers who relied on the land for their livelihood, growing crops and raising livestock to survive. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions of rural Scotland during the Victorian period. The croft, with its timeless charm and simple beauty, invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and resilience of the Scottish countryside.
