EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands as seen from Grudie Bridge in Ross and Cromarty. In the foreground, a determined Scottish shepherd stands amidst a flock of sheep, expertly guiding them along the winding road that leads up to the imposing mountain of Slioch. The mountain, with its distinctive conical shape and snow-capped peak, dominates the landscape, its craggy slopes a testament to the harsh and remote terrain that has shaped the lives of the people who live and work here for generations. The herder's red jacket and the white wool of the sheep stand out against the muted greens and greys of the hills, adding a vibrant pop of color to the scene. The photograph, taken in the 1940s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of rural Scotland, a time when the connection between people and the land was deeply rooted and the rhythms of daily life were dictated by the changing seasons and the needs of the flock. The composition of the photograph, with the road leading the eye up to the mountain and the shepherd and his flock in the foreground, invites the viewer to imagine the stories and experiences of those who have come before, and to appreciate the enduring beauty and resilience of the Scottish Highlands.
