Old Photograph Shieldaig Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Shieldaig, Wester Ross, Scotland. The Scottish Highlands village was founded in 1800 with a view to training up seamen for war against Napoleon. After his, initial, defeat and exile to Elba, the community found itself a new role as a fishing village. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
