Old Photograph Isle of Mingulay Scotland
Old photograph of the Isle of Mingulay located twelve miles South of Island of Barra, Scotland. This Scottish island in the Outer Hebrides is known for its important seabird populations, including puffins, Black-legged Kittiwakes, and razorbills, which nest in the sea-cliffs, some of the highest in the British Isles. Between the 15th and 19th centuries Mingulay was part of the lands of Clan MacNeil of Barra, but subsequently suffered at the hands of absentee landlords. Islanders subsisted through a combination of fishing, hunting seabirds, weaving and crofting until most of the population of about 140 left between 1910 and 1912.
