EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Curling at Birnam" captures the essence of a winter scene in Scotland. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the timeless sport of curling being played amidst the picturesque backdrop of Birnam and Dunkeld. The image transports us to a frosty day on a frozen loch, where two curling clubs engage in friendly competition. The players gracefully glide across the ice, their brooms poised for action as they strategize their next moves. The tranquility of the surrounding snow-covered hills adds to the serene ambiance of this Scottish landscape. This photo is reminiscent of a bygone era when curling was not just a sport but also a social gathering. It offers us a glimpse into history and reminds us of simpler times when communities would come together to enjoy outdoor activities during long winter months. Originally featured as an illustration for Pictorial Scotland and Ireland, published by Cassell around 1895, this print has been preserved within a private collection. Its monochromatic tones lend it an air of nostalgia that evokes feelings of warmth despite its wintry subject matter. With its impeccable composition and rich historical context, this photograph serves as both artistry and documentation—a testament to the enduring beauty found within Scotland's landscapes and traditions.
