One of my favourite collections in the archives if that of Dr Norman Morrison, the naturalist, policeman, union activist and photographer who was born in Shawbost. Although he worked away in Glasgow and Argyll as a policeman, he regularly returned to Shawbost where he photographed many local people and families in the first and second decades of the 20th century.
This image depicts John Gilles (‘Ain Gilles) of 29 Shawbost looking very smart in his uniform. You can find out more about Norman Morrison and view more of his images at http://www.tormod.co.uk/home.html
