Sketches among the Revolted Crofters in the Isle of Lewis, Hebrides - Soldiers Approaching Stornoway, 1887
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News, captures the tense atmosphere as British soldiers prepare to land on the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides to crush a rebellion by crofters, or small-scale farmers, in 1887. The caption reads "Sketches among the Revolted Crofters in the Isle of Lewis, Hebrides." As the soldiers cross the sea towards Stornoway, the largest town on the island, they huddle on the deck of the ferry to keep warm against the cold wind and waves. A soldier plays a penny whistle, and his comrades dance a lively jig, a traditional Scottish dance, to lift their spirits and pass the time. The sight of soldiers dancing to the lively music of a penny whistle on the deck of the ferry is a stark contrast to the seriousness of their mission. In the background, a sentry stands watch, keeping a lookout for any signs of resistance. The image provides a glimpse into the complex history of the Isle of Lewis and the rebellion that took place there over a century ago. The crofters, who had been struggling to maintain their traditional way of life, had risen up against the landlords who sought to evict them from their lands and impose English tenancy laws. The British military was sent to quell the rebellion, leading to a period of unrest and conflict on the island. This historical photograph, with its evocative caption, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political upheaval and social change in the Hebrides. The image of soldiers dancing on the deck of the ferry to the sound of a penny whistle is a poignant reminder of the human side of history, and the resilience and resourcefulness of people in the face of adversity.
