Summary

The fishing that was undertaken around Mingulay.

The Mingulay men fished in the summer, coming home at the weekend. Some of the fish were cured and sold. They used sailing boats and would leave them in Castlebay and row home in their smaller boats. Everyone came out to help bring the boats ashore. People also used to gather shellfish.
