Sheriff Ivory’s Marines

“We are frugal and not extravagant in our way of living, our staple food being meal, potatoes, fish when it is got. We have very miserable dwelling-houses, and never got aid from our proprietors to build better ones. Of the twenty crofters’ houses, there are only two in which the cattle are not under the same roof with the family. Now, we leave it to your lordship to see what this revelation of the condition of our dwellings reflects on the boasted civilisation of the nineteenth century”.

John MacPherson of Glendale.
