    “There once lived in Broadford a cooper named William Mc Glynn...”

    Share Share Post
    There once lied in Broadford a cooper named William Mc Glynn and he was also a butcher on a small scale. Many is the story he told at the farmers' houses when he was there killing the pigs. Before he came to Broadford he spent some time in England and many adventures he had when he was there. One one occasion he was in the upper storey of a house and got into some row with the people of the house. He was pushed out the window getting a fall of some 26' to the ground. His landlady was surprised to meet him the following morning. She asked him how he was, "I am alright" said William," but that is a very high step you have to your door.
