Ruarwe Bay, Malawi, ca. 1894-1904
Photograph of Ruarwe Bay in Malawi. The image is taken from an elevated view point. Thatched huts can be seen scattered along the bay facing onto a beach and a boat can be seen off shore.; This belongs to a series of Church of Scotland Foreign Missions Committee lantern slides relating to Dr Robert Laws (1851-1934) the Scottish Missionary. In 1875, inspired by David Livingstone (1813-1873), Laws travelled to Malawi and was involved in the foundation of the mission station of Livingstonia on the shores of Lake Nyasa. During the succeeding 50 years he also established a network of hundreds of schools. In 1908 Laws was elected moderator of the General Assembly of the United Free Church of Scotland.
