Summary

Lobster fishing on Mingulay.

The old men who could not travel far would fish for lobsters with small boats around Mingulay. They would work all summer until the weather turned bad. The lobsters were sold to merchants in Castlebay. The fishermen had to make the creels for themselves, and would do so in the spring. They would buy in the materials.
