1839: Fishers of Crovie are more respectful and more honest than Gardenstown. For example, the Gardenstown fishermen hid the names of new fishermen, while the Crovie fishermen do not. Because of this, road from Lichnot should be improved, bridge should be build with ½ coming from proprietor, and the boat shore should be widened for the boats. |
