Old Photograph Turning The Soil Shetland Scotland
Old photograph of Crofters turning the soil on the Shetland Islands, Scotland. Crofting is a form of land tenure and small scale food production particular to the Scottish Highlands, the islands of Scotland, and formerly on the Isle of Man. Within the 19th century townships, individual crofts were established on the better land, and a large area of poorer quality hill ground was shared by all the crofters of the township for grazing of their livestock. Crofts theses days are only found in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, in the former counties of Argyll, Inverness, Ross and Cromarty, Sutherland, Caithness, Orkney and Shetland.
