Old Photograph Croft Sutherland Scotland
Old photograph of a crofter with sheep outside a cottage in Sutherland, Scotland. Crofting was a form of small scale food production unique to the Scottish Highlands and the Islands of Scotland. The name Sutherland dates from the era of Norwegian Viking rule and settlement over much of the Highlands and Islands, under the rule of the jarl of Orkney. Although it contains some of the northernmost land in the island of Great Britain, it was called Suðrland, " southern land, " from the standpoint of Orkney and Caithness.
