Old Photograph Farm Workers Angus Scotland

Old photograph of farm workers outside a cottage in Angus, Scotland. They assisted in a range of cultivation and harvesting activities, especially the latter, for a number of labour-intensive crops, most notably vegetables, grain, and potatoes; the potato crop required a large workforce even until recently. Many of the workers were employed in coastal parishes and low-lying parts of the county, especially where the potato and vegetable crops were extensively grown. In most inland and upland parishes, fewer were employed.
