EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the lively atmosphere of The Inverness Gathering, as participants engage in the traditional Scottish sport of tossing the caber. Taken by J. Benjamin Stone, a renowned photographer from the late 19th century, this print showcases his exceptional talent for capturing cultural events. The image transports us to a time when customs and traditions were celebrated with great enthusiasm. People from England, Scotland, Germany, and various parts of Europe come together to witness this unique spectacle in the picturesque highlands of Inverness. The sheer excitement on their faces is palpable as they watch competitors attempt to throw the large wooden pole known as a caber. Intriguingly, this photograph offers a glimpse into German culture during that era. It highlights how Germans were not only present at such gatherings but also actively participated in these Scottish traditions. This cross-cultural exchange adds an extra layer of significance to an already fascinating scene. The monochrome tones lend a timeless quality to this image, emphasizing its historical value and allowing viewers to appreciate every detail captured by Stone's lens. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of photographic artistry from Sir Benjamin Stones Pictures collection, we are reminded of the power photography holds in preserving moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
