Three Rock field crews 

 fished for herrings at 

 Ireland, Shetland and 

 Fraserburgh, and earned 

 in all about £2100. The 

 local herring fishing was 

 aeomp'etefaiiure. Small- 

 line fishing was actively- 

 followed for a short 

 period at both places. 



The majority of the Inver 

 men were employed in 

 fishing for herrings at 

 other parts of the coast, 

 during the greater part 

 of the year, in their own 

 boats, or in those of other 

 fishermen.
