Old Photograph Hand Spinners Hebrides Scotland

Old photograph of Hand Spinners in a cottage on the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The yarn for the cloth was hand-spun by the women from their own sheep. This activity was eulogised by ministers of the church in the Outer Hebrides, who clearly believed that non-spinners were sinners. This is a recurring theme in the Statistical Account of Scotland penned by parish ministers from 1791 to 1799.
