Add to album

This bone comb, for removing lice or nits from the hair, was found in Perth.

The fine teeth on both sides of the comb are essential for extracting the lice from the scalp and hair.

For centuries it was the land which supplied the resources of everyday life for most people in Scotland. It provided the materials for homes, furnishings and belongings. In some remote areas the use of local materials continued well into the 20th century.
