The Scottish artist R R McIan produced this illustration for the book 'Gaelic gatherings, or the Highlanders at home on heather, river and loch', published 1847-49, with accompanying text by James Logan. McIan called this illustration 'Highland children going to school, Lochaber'. The barefoot child leading the way is the 'horn boy', generally one of the cleverest pupils, who was paid to blow a horn to summon the other pupils to school. The boys are carrying a piece of peat for the school fire IDENTIFIER: KIGHF_MCIAN_8 Find more information on the Highland Folk Museum on our partner page |
