8897. What is paid for wool?-Sometimes it is 2s. per lb. for fine wool, sometimes 1s. 6d., and so on.
8898. Do you get that from your neighbours?-There are not many neighbours near us who have any sheep.
8899. Where do you buy it, then?-Sometimes we go to Lerwick and buy it, and sometimes in Yell.
8900. Is there no shop in Fetlar where you can buy it?-No.
8901. Where do you buy it in Lerwick?-I don't know; I do not buy it myself. They buy it just at any place where they can get it best.
8902. To whom do you pay your rent?-To Hay & Co.
8903. Is it deducted from your account when you settle?-Yes.
8904. Have you ever tried the winter fishing?-No; they don't do much in that with us. They might catch some in winter, but not many. They have generally a long way to go to seek them, and it requires particularly good weather to go out with the little boats.
8905. Have you not large enough boats for the winter fishing?- No.
8906. Do you think you could do anything if you had large decked boats?-I don't know; they have never tried them there. They might do something with them, but I don't think they would pay very well.
