Archibald MacLean, the last miller at Cornaig (on the extreme left), is pictured here with his family and neighbours cutting hay with a horse-drawn reaper in the 1920s. The reaper worked non-stop round the field until the patch of growing hay was all cut.
Alasdair MacLean from Kilmoluaig is sitting holding a scythe which was used to deal with problem patches. It was also used when work commenced to open up a pathway inside the gate for the reaper to begin.
The woman is the miller’s sister, Flora, who is using a three-pronged fork made in the local smiddy. She followed the reaper to keep the pathway clear for the next time it came round.
