EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Scottish culture - the Dumfriesshire Otter Hounds meet in May 1906 at Shieldhill, Dumfries and Galloway. The image showcases a crowd of enthusiastic hunters gathered by the river, ready for a day of sport with their beloved otter-dogs.
The Otter Hounds, bred for hunting since the twelfth century, are known for their coarse oily coat that protects them from the cold waters they navigate during hunts. These majestic animals can weigh up to 115 lb and stand tall at 27 inches, making them formidable companions in the pursuit of otters.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when hunting was not just a leisure activity but also an integral part of British culture. The landscape of Scotland serves as the perfect backdrop for this gathering of like-minded individuals who share a passion for country sports.
This archival photograph is not just a visual treat but also a reminder of our rich heritage and traditions. It encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie and adventure that defined such meets in early 20th-century Scotland.
