  1. Buying and Selling

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the shops were not as plentiful as they are now. People were very poor long ago. They used be selling Potato Baskets at the chapel gate. There was a butter market in Clashmore and one man would go around on Wednesday and buy all the butter from the people. Poor people used to get a loan of a horse from a farmer to plough their land and then they would do a week's work for him. The old people used to say that if you good a lot of money on Monday you would have luck for the week.
