Derelict Cottage
28th May 1955: A derelict cottage in a rural village. Traditional homes have been replaced by modern cottages with more facilities and the old buildings are now used for storage or farm animals. Children on the island of Lewis do not learn English until they go to school because local people speak Gaelic and only read or write English.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the Essence of Time: A Glimpse into Rural Scotland's Evolution". In this print, photographer Malcolm Dunbar takes us on a journey to a rural village in Scotland on the 28th of May, 1955. The focal point is a derelict cottage that stands as a poignant symbol of changing times. Once traditional homes filled with life, these cottages have now been replaced by modern structures boasting enhanced facilities. Left behind are remnants of an era gone by, repurposed for storage or housing farm animals. The photo also sheds light on the unique linguistic landscape of Lewis Island. Here, children do not learn English until they attend school since Gaelic remains the primary language spoken by locals. This cultural peculiarity adds depth to the image as it showcases how isolated communities preserve their heritage amidst societal shifts. Dunbar's composition masterfully captures both architectural and human elements within this single frame. A lone figure walks away from us, his back turned towards the viewer, emphasizing solitude and contemplation against the backdrop of abandoned beauty. This photograph serves as an archival gem that transports viewers back to mid-20th century Scotland—a time when tradition clashed with progress and rural landscapes were transforming at an unprecedented pace. Through Dunbar's lens, we witness history frozen in time—an evocative reminder of our ever-changing world.
