Potatoes being dug out of the ground in Peninerine with a cròcan (iron hook). This would also be used for working with seaware.
The photograph was taken by Werner Kissling (1895-1988), an ethnological photographer, who worked mainly in island and coastal communities in Scotland. He made one of the earliest Gaelic films, Eriskay: A Poem of Remote Lives (1935).
