Old photograph of a Crofter moving Highland Cattle on a road on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Historically, the life of a crofter was a tough existence and consequently many were forced to seek a new life overseas. In September 1771, 370 crofters sailed to North Carolina and by the end of the 1700s more than 2,000 men had emigrated to the New World.
