Old photograph of cottages in Gairloch, a small village on the shores of Loch Gairloch on the northwest coast of Scotland. The lands around Gairloch have been mostly in the ownership of the Mackenzies of Gairloch since the 15th century, when they were acquired by Hector Roy Mackenzie who died in 1528, with a family house in the sheltered Glen of Flowerdale. The Mackenzies were clan leaders in the traditional sense and were known for their attachment to their tenants. During the 19th century, Sir Hector Mackenzie and his sons Sir Francis and Dr John Mackenzie refused to evict a single tenant during the Highland clearances, despite the estate running at a loss. As a result, evicted Highlanders from other communities came to live in the area and has caused Gairloch to maintain a thriving community even today. Gairloch and nearby Badachro had a strong history of creel shellfish fishing as well as small scale trawl fishing.
