Summary
How the contributor's grandfather learned his trade as a smith.
The contributor's people were smiths. His grandfather learned the craft initially from an uncle in Stoneybridge, and then served an apprenticeship on the mainland, working for various people for six-month terms. The hours were long and the pay low. He tells a story about his grandfather running away from one smith and subsequent adventures. He finally got work with another smith for six months and then returned to Uist.
