Summary
Droving; sheep markets.
Sheila Scott asks about the old drove road over the Pentlands. When Andrew Gibson's father took sheep to Lanark market, they lay out on Lanark Moor the night before. The sales took place in the open, and the dealers bargained with the sellers. Sheep sold at 6/- a head in Andrew's father's youth.
Conversation about the history of the Falkirk Tryst, and ambushes at Cauldstane Slap.
