Old Photograph Waulking Tweed Isle Of Harris Scotland

Old photograph of women Waulking the Tweed outside a thatched cottage on Island Of Harris, Scotland. This practice involved a group of people beating newly woven tweed rhythmically against a table or similar surface to soften it. Simple, beat-driven songs were used to accompany the work.
