Herring Girl statue, Stornoway harbour, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland, 2009. The statue commemorates the women and girls who worked in the Hebridean herring industry in the 19th and early 20th century. In 1914 20% of the population of Lewis worked in the herring industry. The market for the fish declined after World War I however, and by the end of World War II the industry had gone.
