This late 1800s illustration shows Fisher Folk in Scotland. Fishermen, also known as fisher folk in Scotland, have been casting their lines off the coast of the north east of the country since before Viking longship keels scraped the shingle beaches and the Danes set foot ashore around about 794 AD.  Communities of fisher folk have lived and worked for many generations in isolation of a larger world yet bound together in commonality of a hazardous, unpredictable occupation.
