Fishing
and crofting have been the mainstays of the local economy
for generations. Here we try to give a flavour of that
tradition as it pertains to Tolsta rather than as a
broad academic study of these subjects which have already
been executed by other organisations.
What
we wish to build up are a series of references that
taken together provide a unique insight into how the
interwined activities of fishing and crofting impinged
on the everyday lives of Tolsta families throughout
the last 100 years and more.
We
have also prepared a Registry of all the Tolsta fishing
boats from 1880 - 1988 and this can be viewed at the
Comann Eachdraidh Room. Also available there is the
complete set of Tolsta earmarks.
