A boy with a spear looking for flat fish in the sea pools and rivulets of the escaping tide at South Ford, between Benbecula and South Uist.
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).
