Old Photograph Shetland Ponies Fair Isle Scotland

Old photograph of moving Shetland Ponies by boat on Fair Isle, Scotland. The relation between ponies and the sea here ran deep. Local fishermen harvested hair from the ponies' long tails to weave highly durable fishing lines and repair nets. This is an island in northern Scotland, lying around halfway between mainland Shetland and the Orkney Islands.
