EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of a Highland Shepherd from the early 19th century, as depicted in a print by Mary Evans Picture Library. The shepherd, dressed in traditional attire, is shown with his loyal canine companion at his side. The shepherd wears a pouch slung over his shoulder, filled with oatmeal or oat cakes to sustain him and his dog during long hours in the rugged Highland terrain. The shepherd's attire is further adorned with a mull of a ram's horn, used to hold his snuff, a popular substance among the Scottish Highlanders for its stimulating effects. The horn's intricate carvings add to the historical charm of the scene. The shepherd's hand rests on the hilt of his dirk, a traditional Scottish dagger, which was an essential tool for both defense and utility in the Highlands. The dirk's distinctive design, with its curved blade and intricately decorated handle, is a testament to the rich history and industry of the region. The print, which dates back to 1808, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Highland Shepherd during a time when the industry was a significant part of Scotland's rural economy. The bond between the shepherd and his dog, as well as the rugged beauty of the landscape, make this image a captivating representation of a bygone era.
