Old Photograph Farm Workers Scotland

Old photograph of Farm Workers in Perthshire, Scotland. Farm workers were rarely employed on a permanent basis and often lived quite a nomadic life. They were usually hired on a temporary basis at a feeing market, usually held every 6 months in May and November. On accepting the fee, the farm servant would be bound to the farmer for the next six months or a year.
