EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of Scrabster Harbour during the Victorian period, showcasing a bustling port filled with fishing boats and fishermen hard at work. The vintage lanterns lining the harbor add a warm glow to the scene, transporting viewers back in time to an era of industry and maritime activity.
The image is rich in detail, from the intricate rigging on the sailing boats to the fishwives and girls eagerly awaiting their catch on shore. The herring fisheries were a vital part of Scrabster's economy during this period, providing sustenance for local communities and driving trade along Scotland's rugged coastline.
The Edwardian charm of this photograph is evident in every aspect, from the traditional dress worn by those depicted to the early 20th-century architecture that lines the waterfront. The Scottish heritage of Scrabster shines through in this snapshot of daily life, offering a glimpse into a world where hard work and perseverance were essential for survival.
As we gaze upon this historical gem from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, we are reminded of the resilience and ingenuity of those who came before us. This image serves as a tribute to both the beauty of Scrabster Harbour and its importance in shaping Scotland's maritime history.
