There is little reality to this idyllic picture. Life on the crofts is and always has been, hard and seldom materially rewarding. And yet, over the years, a rich tradition has evolved in crofting areas; a tradition marked by community spirit, personal warmth, and iron will. Crofting is simply a way of life which transcends the values of modern materialistic society, a unique culture in which man himself is truly one with his environment.
