EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of sketches, titled 'Sketches in the Isle of Skye: the Crofters Land League,' offers a glimpse into the historical agitation that took place on the Scottish Isle of Skye during the late 19th century. The series of images depicts various aspects of the land dispute between crofters and landlords, which escalated into a significant social and political movement known as the Crofters Land League. The first sketch, 'Staffin, from the Bay,' shows the picturesque landscape of Staffin Bay, with its rugged coastline and tranquil waters, serving as a backdrop to the unfolding events. The following images provide a glimpse into the daily lives of the crofters, with sketches of their humble huts in Portree and the determined women who stood by their side. The tension between the crofters and landlords is evident in the portrayal of a Skye landlord, who stands in stark contrast to the struggling crofters. The power dynamic is further emphasized by the presence of British military forces, as depicted in sketches of marines wading to their boats at low-tide in Uig and constructing a bridge for their passage. The role of the authorities is also highlighted in the series, with sketches of the sheriff directing the construction of the bridge and the Field Lieutenant of H.M.S Assistance sorting letters. The crofters' resistance is symbolized by the image of a patriarch opening the crofters' meeting with prayer, while the view of Uig from the bows of H.M.S Assistance underscores the military presence and the crofters' struggle for land rights. These evocative sketches provide a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in Scottish history, offering a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the crofters in their quest for fair treatment and land reform.
