Old Photograph Crofters Island Of Barra Scotland

Old photograph of crofters taking home Peat on ponies on the Island of Barra, Scotland. The Clan MacNeil has strong ties to the Isle of Barra and claims descent from the O'Neills of Ulster. The name Barra is thought to take its name either from Saint Finbarr, the founder of Cork in Ireland, or from Saint Barr, the great grandson of Niall of the Nine Hostages, the legendary 4th century king of Ireland.
