EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history and charm of Scotland's past at The Clachan, a replica Scottish hamlet showcased at the Empire Exhibition in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow, in 1938. Sponsored by the Scottish island ferry company Caledonian Macbrayne, this authentic and intricately detailed representation of a traditional Scottish crofting community was a popular attraction for visitors. The heart of The Clachan was a quaint, whitewashed cottage nestled among lush greenery, complete with thatched roof and a red-painted door. Surrounding the cottage were various outbuildings, including a drying green, a croft with vegetable patches, and a small pond teeming with fish. The scene was set to transport visitors back in time, with the gentle sound of a babbling brook and the sight of fishermen casting their lines into the water. The Clachan also featured a rowing lake, where visitors could rent boats and enjoy a leisurely paddle while taking in the picturesque surroundings. The area was a testament to Scotland's proud history and its strong connection to the land and the sea. This photograph captures the essence of The Clachan, with its idyllic setting, quaint cottages, and the peaceful stillness of the pond. The scene is framed by the lush greenery and the blue sky, making for a breathtaking and nostalgic image of Scotland's past. The Clachan was more than just an exhibit; it was a living, breathing representation of the country's rich history and traditions, and a reminder of the simple pleasures of rural life.
