"Potato Diggers" is a notable painting by Scottish artist William Darling McKay (1844–1924), who was known for his landscape and rural scene artworks. The painting depicts agricultural laborers engaged in the arduous task of harvesting potatoes, a common and vital crop in Scotland and throughout the United Kingdom. McKay's work is characterized by its attention to the realistic details of rural life and the working conditions of the laborers, often imbued with a sense of dignity and the beauty of the natural world.

Created during the late 19th or early 20th century, a period marked by a growing interest in social realism and the plight of the working class, "Potato Diggers" reflects McKay's engagement with these themes. The painting is executed in a style that combines elements of realism with a sensitivity to light and color, which was typical of the period and indicative of the influence of the Impressionist movement, though McKay is not typically classified as an Impressionist artist.

"Potato Diggers" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural value, providing insight into the agricultural practices and social conditions of its time. The painting is a testament to McKay's skill in capturing the essence of Scottish rural life and his empathy for the laborers who toiled in the fields.
