This monochrome photograph captures the remains of Slaggan, a deserted village in Wester Ross, Scotland. It focuses on the gable ends of a house built by the Mackenzie family in 1936, which burned down around 1942 or 1943, likely due to navy personnel seeking shelter. Once a small crofting settlement, Slaggan was abandoned after its young residents left for work, leaving only the Mackenzies until the village was fully deserted. The image reflects the quiet, weathered remnants of the past.
