Scotland has a long tradition of growing and cultivating fruit trees, going back to when the
monasteries were landowners and producers. When Boswell and Johnson recorded their Journey to the Western Isles (1773) travelling across a large portion of Scotland, they highlighted those landowners who nurtured their own orchards (seen perhaps as a sign of enlightenment and being progressive, especially not long after the 45' rebellion).
This body of work documents the now remnant orchards in the Carse of Gowrie, between Perth and Dundee that was a major producer in the 19th century.
The clouds are from a few largely rain free days on the Isle of Rùm. So easy to take for granted but our awareness of the weather and climate has never been greater and now much more than a daily talking point.
