EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century in Loch Maree, Wester Ross, Scotland. In this snapshot from history, we witness the daily lives of the native villagers as they gather peat for fuel. Published in 1898 as part of "Our Own Country" this image offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The scene depicts a group of Scottish natives diligently carrying baskets filled with peat on their backs. The rugged landscape of Loch Maree serves as their backdrop, adding an air of mystique and beauty to the photograph. These hardworking gatherers play an essential role in providing fuel for their community during this time period. The image captures not only the physical labor involved but also showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of these Scots. Their determination is evident as they navigate through challenging terrain while balancing heavy loads on their shoulders. Photographer Ken Welsh has skillfully captured both the historical significance and cultural heritage within this single frame. Through his lens, we are transported to a different time when manual labor was necessary for survival. As we admire this remarkable piece of history, let us reflect upon the strength and unity exhibited by these villagers who worked together to sustain their community amidst harsh conditions.
