Iain Friseal, Gobha Inbhir Nis (3 de 39)

Dh'ionnsaich Iain Friseal, Gobha Airgid Inbhir Nis, a chiùird anns na 1930an aig Medlock and Craik, seudairean agus luchd-dèanamh uaireadairean aig 6 Sràid na Drochaid, Inbhir Nis. An dèidh làimhe, bha togalaichean aig a' chompanaidh ann an Exchange Place agus Geata na Bànrigh.<br /> <br /> Anns an earrann chlaistinn seo bho na 1970an, tha Mgr. Friseal a' cuimhneachadh air na rudan a dh'fheumadh e a leigeil seachad airson a dhreuchd. Tha an dealbh seo, a chaidh a thoirt le Taigh-tasgaidh agus Gaileiridh Ealain Inbhir Nis (IMAG), a' sealltainn fear de na h-earrannan aig Iain Friseal - sgian-pàipeir òir.<br /> <br /> 'I showed an aptitude for filing and things like that, you know? I'd a very good eye and a very strong, very firm, pair of hands. Of course, I was doing weight lifting at that time. I was playing shinty. I was playing for the Second Inverness and I had to pack that in. Oh aye. No more shinty. 'Cos he was afraid I would get my hands damaged so I had to give that up and I was very, very keen. And it nearly broke my heart to give that up. I mean, I looked forward to that every night in the summer: I was up the Bught Park and I had to give it up. It was terrible, terrible blow. But he just read the ultimatum out to me, he just said 'Well it's like this John, if you're going to keep the shinty up' he says 'you'll have to find another job and I can't afford to take the risk'
