Four colour photographs (3 of them very similar) of the tulip fields at Hynish, Isle of Tiree. The photographs clearly show the location of the bulb fields, with the Lighthouse Keeper’s cottages appearing in one and Greenhill in the other three. The images also show groups of between 3 and 4 individuals, presumably, pickers, attending to the flowers.
