 Why Sandbank                                                

sandbank
The reason for coming to Sandbank was the gunpowder mills at glen lean in the village of Clachaig. The smiddy was kept busy shoeing the horses and maintaining the carts which transported the raw materials to this mill.

Another job would be shoeing the cart wheels. The iron hoops for the gunpowder barrels were also made in the smiddy. We still have the cone that was used for this job, but we don’t use it much now.
