Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reports the primitive mode of agricultural practice prevalent in these areas prior to crofting and looks to explain this apparent backwardness by reference to socio-economic and physical restraints rather than cultural inertia. The use of spade, cashcrom (a heavy duty spade with a curved handle and narrow thick blade), simple plough and the labour intensity of these techniques are described. | |
