Old Photograph Sorisdale Scotland

Old photograph of crofters cottages in Sorisdale on the Isle of Coll which is West of Isle Of Mull, Scotland. In the 1840s, the area supported a substantial population, with the nearby coast utilized for collecting peat for fuel. Like much of Coll, Sorisdale was affected by the Highland Clearances in the 1830s and 1840s, leading to the abandonment of many dwellings.
