Cleits 3
Lachlan MacDonald (1906-1991). Left St Kilda at evacuation.
“Up away on the hills the cleits wee built for peat, wherever it was handy. You cut your peat any time there was good weather in May or later. You would leave it there until it was dry and then you would put it in the cleits. Then in the winter time you would take it home just as you were needing it.”
