The herring industry was very important to Scotland in the 19th and early 20th century but mackerel was also caught. Like herring, the mackerel were gutted, salted and packed into barrels to preserve them. This photograph shows barrels of mackerel on the pier at Loch Skiport (or Sgioport), on the east coast of South Uist IDENTIFIER: QZP99_94052_04_07 Find out more about - Isabel Grant
