Old Photograph Peat Cart Orkney Islands
Old photograph of a crofter with a peat cart on the The Orkney Islands, Scotland. In the 17th century, Orcadians formed the overwhelming majority of employees of the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada. The harsh climate of Orkney and the Orcadian reputation for sobriety and their boat handling and outdoor skills made them ideal candidates for the rigours of the Canadian north.

Second City. Photographs of Glasgow, Scotland, from 1860 to 1960. These are photographs of Glasgow at its zenith, when it was among the most dynamic cities on earth. In this wonderful collection we see all the elements that made Glasgow great: the world-renowned industries; the majestic buildings; the bustling streets full of exclusive shops; the beautiful parks; the grand theatres, cinemas, hotels and restaurants; the museums and universities. The places featured include George Square, Sauchiehall Street, Buchanan Street, Argyle Street, Trongate, High Street, Central Station, St Vincent Street, Queen Street, the Broomielaw, the river Clyde, Great Western Road, Glasgow Cross, Shawlands Cross, Charing Cross, Bridgeton Cross, the Gorbals, the west end and the east end. There are also photographs of Glasgow's transport system, including the trams, the underground, ferries and buses. Then there are the shops, some like Copland and Lye and Hope Brothers long gone, others like Watt Brothers still with us. Historic pubs, most of them now demolished, feature along with legendary theatres like the Empire and Citizen's. Landmark buildings are also to the fore: Glasgow University, Glasgow Cathedral, the city chambers, Rogano Oyster bar, Glasgow Bridge among them. We are also given insights into the lives of Glasgow's people, from prosperous businessmen to the denizens of the slums, which, despite Glasgow's huge wealth were among the worst in Europe. Many great photographers are represented, among them true pioneers of the art like George Washington Wilson, Thomas Annan, James Craig Annan, Bert Hardy and Haywood Magee, as well as exponents from prominent publications like The Scotsman, Daily Record, Sunday Mail and Picture Post. Second City: Glasgow Photographs 1860-1960.
Old Photograph Croft Cottage South Uist Scotland
Old photograph of a Crofters cottage on South Uist, Scotland. 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. South Uist was sold to Lt. Colonel John Gordon of Cluny in 1837 and the fortunes of the island's tenants went downhill from that point. He initiated Highland Clearances to make way for sheep farming, supplanting the crofters with farmers from the Borders, who brought flocks of Blackface sheep. As a result, there was large scale emigration from the island.
