    There are about seven or eight tailors in this parish now. The most of them work at home. They send away for webs of cloth. They make suits for whoever wants them. Some people wear homespun clothes. First the farmers clip the wool off the sheep and then they card it and then they send it to a weaver and he weaves it into cloth. There is a weaver living near Falcarragh.
