Scope and Contents

Note about Gaisgeir [Gàisgeir/Gasker] that it is a small island where about thirty ewes are kept as they thrive on the many plants that grow there describing the sheep as 'extra fat weigh 80 90 & 100 lbs'. Lambs are often taken from there to Tarasaigh/Taransay but 'they wither & die'.
