Glasgow Museums has a collection of approximately 500 objects related to Scottish rural life. These date broadly from 1700 to 2000. This collection comprises a diverse range of artefacts, including ploughs, ceramics, model boats, paintings, prints and photographs. The majority of the collection is connected with farming and fishing, and complements other holdings related to food preparation, domestic architecture, transport, and industries such as weaving, cobbling and candlemaking. Geographically, the collection represents the whole of Scotland, including remote communities such as the St Kildans. The collection contains important correspondence from the islands of St Kilda, dating from 1896 to 1900, and oral histories.
