  • Sheep gathering and sorting in a fank with Bannatyne MacLeod and is wife Jessie on their croft at Cluer on the Isle of Harris, Scotland.  Crofters are small tennant farmers who scrape a precarious living out of the edges of Scotland's lands. This area of Harris is a very rocky example of the rugged lands where crofters farm.

  • Ian Delyell takes his North Ronaldsay Pram out to run his crab and lobster creels around the north coast of North Ronaldsay.  Delyell is a crofter, meaning that he farms a bit, fishes a bit, and does other odd jobs to make ends meet on the tiny island (four miles by two miles.) He and his helper are pulling up single creels (mostly) that Delyell drops into single, special holes he knows about from decades of fishing (his father fished here before him.)  He triangulates his position from landmarks on shore and "reads" the bottom to place he creels exactly. The get about a pound (Sterling) per kilo of crabs and about nine pounds per kilo of lobsters.

  • Gathering sheep from the small island of Vuia Mor with Norrie MacKay and his crew of fellow crofters. Near Bhaltos on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. The island is part of the common grazing and each crofter has grazing rights for a certain number of sheep. Hauling them by boat is an old tradition here and good time is had by all, even if it is very hard work. 

Fuaigh Mòr is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It is off the west coast of Lewis near Great Bernera in Loch Roag. It is 84 hectares (0.32 square miles) and 67 metres (220 feet) at its highest point.

  • Views of the Rackwick Valley on the west coast of Hoy.  This valley was one of the first to be settled by Norse incomers (Vikings) and was for centuries a properous community in an idyllic setting.  Now it is largely abandoned but has lost none of its scenic appeal.  Only one crofter still farms here but others have come to convert old croft houses into summer cottages, including the composer Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.  These views look over some of the ruined croft houses and other views look down on a small seaside cottage with the cliffs and beach beyond.g

  • A family bible lies open in a deserted croft house on North Ronaldsay, the most remote of the Orkney Islands.  When crofters left (or were displaced by landowners) they often simply walked away, evidenced by the cups and saucers still sitting on the shelves.  The slate roof has fallen in letting in the rain and sunlight.
