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.
