Another shot by Walter Rintoul from yesteryear...  Dairy cattle too...

The fields of yesterday - More photographs from Walter Rintoul

 This is a croft at Glenegedale, I believe it belonged to Peter Reid.

 These are fields on the Mull of Oa, with what I believe are haystacks (rather than cornstacks).

The village of Keills on Jura.  I would suggest that they are cornstacks, but could be wrong...
