By the Reverend Mr George Fraser.
"By an account taken by the elders, the number of people is 520, but there are between 700 and 800 joined, quoad sacra, to the parish.
There are no manufactures in the strict sense of the word. Most of the old tenants were weavers, and a great many of them are so still. There are three tailors, one smith, one mason, and one lint-dresser. Every man almost of the lower ranks knits his own stockings, which he learns while herding the cattle. The women are all spinners of linen yarn, and assist in managing the farm.
There is but one public house at present, which rather deserves the name of a two-penny house, as there is no entertainment to be had in it, but ale and Scots spirits. We have two meal, and two lint mills."
