2724: Donald Macdonald
Donald (1850-1927) was a son of John MacDonald and Margaret Macdonald and came from Grasvig (11 Geshader) to 1 Geshader (An Gleann Ruadh) in 1923. He was a shoemaker at both addresses. People came from as far away as Harris to have shoes made by the three shoemakers in Geshader, Donald and his two sons, young Donald and Peter.
Some domestic documents and a collection of his cobbler’s tools are housed in the Uig Museum at Timsgarry.
