EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century photograph captures the essence of Scottish tradition and the rich heritage of the Clan MacGregor, as men from the esteemed Highland clan engage in the age-old practice of leistering for salmon. Set against the backdrop of a serene and misty loch, the men, dressed in their tartan kilts and plaid bonnets, expertly maneuver their long, narrow boats, or 'curraghs,' through the water. With the aid of a large, flaming torch, they illuminate the water's surface to attract and stun the salmon, making it easier to catch with their forks. The warm glow of the fire reflects off the water, creating a magical and otherworldly scene. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and power of nature, but also highlights the strong bond between the men of the Clan MacGregor and their ancestral lands. The image is a testament to the enduring traditions and customs that have been passed down through generations, making it a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for Scottish history and culture.
