Old Photographs Lagg Jura Scotland

Old photograph of a fisherman by the pier at the harbour in the hamlet of Lagg, Isle of Jura, Scotland. The harbour is situated on the West shore of Rubh' a' Chamais, the promontory that encloses the East side of Lagg Bay, north, north east of Craighouse. In the early 19th century the 4 mile sea crossing from Lagg to Keills in Knapdale was the normal route for cattle, not only from Jura itself, but for those landed from Colonsay at Loch Tarbert and for over 2,500 animals annually from Islay, which were driven over a hill road from Feolin on the Sound of Islay.
