Old Photograph Crofters Cottage Sutherland Scotland

Old photograph of a crofters cottage in Sutherland, Scotland. The history of crofters in Sutherland is deeply intertwined with the Highland Clearances, a period when large-scale evictions and land re-allocation occurred in the Scottish Highlands. Crofters, often small tenant farmers, were displaced from their traditional lands to make way for sheep farming, which landlords deemed more profitable.
