Old Photograph Crofters Spinning and Weaving In Scotland

Old photograph of Crofters spinning and weaving in a cottage in the Scottish Highlands of Scotland. In 1840 over two thirds of the Scottish population lived and worked on the land, or in small villages making a living from fishing or weaving, and in the Highlands most people were almost universally impoverished.
