Old Photographs Of Crovie Aberdeenshire Scotland 

Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Crovie, a small village in Aberdeenshire. Crovie was established by crofters who had been moved off the land to make room for the landowners' sheep during the Highland Clearances. Here, they operated fishing boats for the local landlord and gradually acquired their own craft instead. The fishing industry declined in the 20th century before ceasing altogether with the storm of 1953, which washed away a number of structures and forced the residents to flee. It dates from a time when the sea was the only mode of transport to and from Scotland's shores. It comprises a single row of houses.
