"Many farm tools until the 20th century were made at home from wood, rather than the very expensive iron. Among these tools were shovels and spades. This is a 'barn shiel', or barn shovel. It has a curved blade and a long straight handle with no hand-hold. It is carved from one piece of wood. It would have been used for shovelling grain or malt. This shovel comes from Kinmundy, Aberdeeenshire"
