This late 1800s illustration shows a male crofter at work in Scotland. Crofters are people who live and work on croft land. Usually they are tenants of the person who owns the land (this is the true legal meaning of the word crofter), but, in recent times, some crofters have bought their crofts and become owner-occupiers. Crofting activities include crofting activities: cutting peat, winnowing corn, manuring fields.
