EDITORS COMMENTS
A Game Keeper and His Canine Companions in Aberfoyle, Scotland, Early 20th Century In this evocative photograph, a game keeper stands proudly atop a hillside in Aberfoyle, Scotland, surrounded by his nine loyal dogs. Dressed in traditional tweed attire and holding a shotgun, the game keeper exudes an air of authority and expertise as he gazes out at the rolling hills and woodlands below. His dogs, a mix of Border Collies, English Setters, and other breeds commonly used for hunting, sit attentively at his feet or nearby, their ears perked and eyes focused on the scene before them. The hillside, dotted with gorse bushes and heather, stretches out towards the horizon, providing a picturesque backdrop to this scene of rural life. The game keeper and his dogs were an essential part of the Scottish countryside, responsible for managing the land and its wildlife. They worked tirelessly to ensure that game populations remained healthy and abundant, providing sport for the landed gentry and contributing to the local economy. The early 20th century was a time of great change in Scotland, with the industrial revolution transforming many aspects of life. However, in the rural areas, traditional ways of life, such as gamekeeping, continued to thrive. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a way of life that has largely disappeared, but which remains an important part of Scotland's rich cultural heritage.
