Old Photograph Fishing Boats Eriskay Scotland

Old photograph of fishing boats on Isle of Eriskay, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Although only a small Scottish island, Eriskay has many claims to fame that have made the island well-known far beyond the Hebrides. It is associated with the traditional Hebridean song, the Eriskay Love Lilt; with the Eriskay pony and the Eriskay jersey, made without any seams. It is the real Whisky Galore island: it was just off Eriskay that the SS Politician ran aground in 1941 with its famous cargo. On August 2, 1745 the small frigate le Du Teillay landed Bonnie Prince Charlie with his " seven men of Moidart " on Eriskay to start the Forty Five Jacobite Rising. An important early documentary film, Eriskay: A Poem of Remote Lives, made by a German traveller, Werner Kissling, was set on the island.
