ID:PC_GLENGARRY_DROVERS_08DESCRIPTION:Highland drovers at work. Droving is the practice of driving herds of livestock such as sheep or cattle over long distances by walking them, travelling by day and resting by night. The folk who do this are referred to as drovers. In the 18th century, Highland pastures were an excellent breeding ground for cattle which were herded south, generally for private buyers or to be sold at that markets, or trysts, held at Crieff and Falkirk. However, some cattle were driven all the way down to London’s Smithfield Market.
