They could be at the back of a drawer, in an album or hidden away in a box of old family pictures, but the search is on for a number of missing photographs.
Shinty's governing body has appealed for help to find 19 missing images which will allow the complete history of the Camanachd Cup to be charted. The sport's most famous prize will be up for grabs for the 106th time a week today and a special photo display illustrating its story is to be shown for the first time.
For some years, shinty historian Hugh Dan MacLennan has been collating images of victorious cup-winning teams, stretching back to the first final in 1896. Donations of images have come from far and wide, and now only 19 are still to be located.
The pictures, including some from the 19th century, will be on display at the Nevis Centre in Fort William next Friday night, the eve of the final between Kyles Athletic and Newtonmore at An Aird Stadium.
Officials are asking people with shinty connections to check for the missing images, the oldest being Beauly's winning team of 1898.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
