He had come to the islands to teach kelp-making. Hector says that this was the best place for giomaich and crubagan [lobster and crab] and that potatos and bere [barley] are now grown there. His wife's great grandmother Catrina niean mhic a Ghobh-an [Catriona nighean mhic a' Ghobhainn] 'used to bring basketfull[s] of siolagaun [sìolagan or sand eels] from round the castle.
