Scotch Colony
Southern Victoria County, New Brunswick, Canada
Jean noticed the black thing to the right of the cabin.
I wonder if it is a portable darkroom for developing a wet glass plate negative.
Those big rocks in the old picture should still be there. Duncan family legend says they left the colony because of the rocky ground.
See the documentary film Arctic Son for a great account of building a log cabin and living in the wilderness. (there is another documentary with the same name about a First Nation family– very good too.) Another documentary film about building a log cabin is Alone in the Wilderness. Neither of these films portray a community similar to what I imagine the Scotch Colony was.
Another animation, by Réjean Roy, inspired by the photo from the NB Archives web site.
