EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically between 1893 and 1896. The image captures a momentous occasion at St Fort House in Fife, Scotland - a view of a quoiting team. Quoits, an ancient game similar to horseshoes, was immensely popular during the Victorian era. In this snapshot frozen in time by the Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland (RCAHMS), we witness a group of individuals engaged in friendly competition. Dressed impeccably in their traditional attire, these men exude both elegance and determination as they prepare for their next throw. The backdrop of St Fort House adds an air of grandeur to the scene. Its majestic architecture stands tall against the rolling Scottish hills, hinting at its rich history and significance within the local community. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, it is impossible not to be transported back over a century ago. We can almost hear the cheers from spectators echoing through time as each player skillfully aims for victory with precision and strategy. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how sports have always been able to unite people across generations. It encapsulates not only an important moment in Scottish sporting history but also provides us with valuable insight into life during Victorian times – where camaraderie, leisurely pursuits, and healthy competition were cherished aspects of society's fabric.
