The berry picking fields of a Scottish summer
The fields of Perthshire became the fields of plenty during berry picking season with travellers, locals and city folk heading to the fertile lands every summer.
A new exhibition of photos, The Berryfields of Blair, captures the way of life of these casual farm workers and has been put together by Perth and Kinross Council to coincide with Gypsy, Roma, Traveller History Month.
