The Mousa laird; baking fresh bread for the fishermen.

Laura Malcolmson's grandmother was a servant on Mousa to the laird, Mrs Piper, at a time when there were seven crofts on the island, which is now [1970] deserted. The servants had to be up early on Monday to do a lot of baking for the fishermen's bread. That was good of the laird: she did not have to do that. Mousa was only three miles by four in size. The lairds were from Orkney and lived on the island before it was sold to the Bruces of Sumburgh.
