My Gilbert Clock

by Dougie Mac Taggart

My Gilbert Clock was recently given to me by an Uncle who had it hidden away at the back of his garden shed. He had been given it many years ago by a neighbour who just had it lying around the house and gave it to my Uncle as a present. He lives on the island of Islay which is one of Scotland's Inner Hebridies. Other than that I know nothing else about it.

The clock is in quite poor condition but bears a label on the bottom which reads "The Gilbert No.1114." and the details of the Gilbert Clock Company including address.
