This print titled "Getting in the hay crop in the Hebrides" takes us back to a simpler time in Scottish rural life. The image captures a scene near Aird, Benbecula, in the Outer Hebrides on 22 September 1960. Despite being well into autumn, Southern farmers may grumble about their weather woes, but here we witness the hardworking crofters of the Hebrides finally reaping their first and only hay crop of the season. The photograph showcases an idyllic countryside landscape with rolling hills as far as the eye can see. In this picturesque setting, a farmer is seen laboring alongside his trusty horse to gather and stack bales of hay. It is a testament to their resilience and dedication to making ends meet amidst challenging climatic conditions.
