Help reading Scottish death cert
« on: Thursday 24 November 16 17:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi all

Can someone please help me decipher the death cert of my 4x Grt uncle.
I need the place and how he died as well as his occupation if possible.

Thank you in advance

His father was a nailer, possibly making boot nails.
