Gathering Cockles Benbecula Outer Hebrides Scotland Women Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows two women are shown gathering cockles on the tidal flats of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. This practice, known in Gaelic as 'trà ighean', has been a traditional and important part of the island's subsistence lifestyle for generations. The vast, sandy beaches of Benbecula are exposed at low tide, providing a rich source of shellfish for the local community.
