Not particularly bushcrafty, however perhaps of interest to some here.
A selection of BW photographs taken in Orkney sometime early in the twentieth century.
My Grandmother's family hailed from Orkney, she spent the first thirteen years of her life there, moving to Edinburgh around 1910. Throughout her childhood, she and her sisters would comb the beach for shellfish and crabs to add to the family table, if they didn't they'd be hungry. It was from her that I learned how to take a crab apart, I was six.
Her father was a farrier, business was better for him in Edinburgh, they became quite well off by the nineteen thirties.
Enjoy.
