This photograph of a fishing boat in Loch Maree forms part of the collection of Dr I. F. Grant, depicting rural life in the Highlands and Islands in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. People still fish in Loch Maree for salmon, sea trout and brown trout.

Loch Maree is a fresh water loch extending about 12 miles from Kinlochewe in the direction of Poolewe. The loch is generally not very wide but has a number of islands at the north west end. One of the islands, Isle Maree, has the remains of a chapel said to have been established by St Maelrubha in the 7th century. The loch is bounded on the north by Slioch which reaches a height of over 3,200ft, and to the south by ancient Caledonian pine forest which makes up part of the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve
