"...saving the pennies to buy my first suit. I was only a lad at the time, working at Gallanach. The height of my ambition was to have a navy blue suit like the other men had. I was measured for it in Coll Stores. It was made on the mainland and cost £1/10s and was saved for going to church, funerals, weddings and Show Day. It was at a Show Day Dance that my wife to be, Iza Irvine of Crossapol, and I danced the night away. Aye, I liked that suit fine!".
