EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing the resilient and hardworking Scotch Fishwives of Eyemouth in Berwickshire, Scotland. Dated circa 1907, the image portrays a scene of industry and determination as the women stand by the herring barrels, their faces etched with the exhaustion and focus that comes from long hours of labor. The rows of stacks and barrels stretch out behind them, a testament to the vast quantities of fish that were once a primary source of livelihood for the community. The Scottish Borders town of Eyemouth, located on the eastern coast of Scotland, was once a thriving hub of the herring fishing industry. The Scotch Fishwives played a crucial role in the process, responsible for sorting, cleaning, and packing the herring into barrels for transportation. Their work was arduous and physically demanding, requiring strength, agility, and a keen eye for quality. Despite the challenging conditions, the Scotch Fishwives of Eyemouth persevered, their dedication and expertise ensuring that the town's herring continued to be a prized commodity both locally and internationally. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important role that women played in Scotland's fishing industry, and the indomitable spirit of the people of Eyemouth who made their living from the sea.
