Old Photograph Thatched Crofters Cottage South Uist Scotland

Old photograph of a thatched Crofters cottage on South Uist, Scotland. Bornais on South Uist was the largest Viking settlement known in Scotland. After the Norse occupation, South Uist was held by the MacDonalds of Clan Ranald who made a good living from kelp harvesting owing to the demand for kelp around the turn of the 19th century.
