Angus Cheese Folk Glen Press Scot Land Edzell
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of an ancient stone cheese press, nestled outside the Folk Museum at Edzell in the heart of Glen Esk, Angus, Scotland. The photograph, taken in the 1950s, transports us to a simpler era, where traditional methods of food production were still in use. The rugged, timeworn press, carved from stone, stands proudly against the backdrop of the rolling Scottish hills, a testament to the region's rich dairy heritage. The scene is set against the cool, crisp air of the Scottish countryside, with the sun casting long shadows over the landscape. The calm serenity of the setting is only interrupted by the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze and the distant sound of water flowing in the nearby burn. The cheese press, a relic from the past, was once used to press and shape fresh curds into wheels of cheese. The process of cheese making was an essential part of rural life in Angus, and the production of cheese was a source of pride and sustenance for local communities. The cheese, made from the milk of local cows, was aged in cool, dark cellars and was a staple food, as well as a prized commodity for trade. Today, the Folk Museum at Edzell preserves the history and traditions of the region, offering visitors a glimpse into the past. The ancient stone cheese press, with its weathered surface and intricate carvings, stands as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Angus and the importance of preserving traditional methods and practices for future generations.
