Bandwin
A bandwin was a team of agricultural workers in the Scottish Lowlands before the agricultural revolution, who carried out the harvest. The term was first recorded in 1642. The bandwin was characteristically made up of two teams of two women and a man who acted as reapers and a bandster who gathered and bound the sheaves. The work of women in the bandwin was unusually almost as valued as that of the men. ==Use==
The term was first recorded in 1642 in the Sheriffs records for Aberdeenshire.〔A. Fenton, ''The Shape of the Past 1: Essays in Scottish Ethnology, Volume 1'' (John Donald, 1985, rpt 2008), ISBN 0859761290, p. 115.〕 It may be derived from the bands of stalks used to tie the sheaves of grain,〔A. Fenton and M. A. Mackay, eds, (''An Introduction to Scottish Ethnology: A Compendium of Scottish Ethnology Volume 1'' ) (Edinburgh: Birlinn, 2013), ISBN 1907909214.〕 or because it made up a band or group.〔J. Jamieson, ''Supplement to The Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language: Illustrating the Words in Their Different Significations, by Examples from Ancient and Modern Writers, Shewing Their Affinity to Those of Other Languages'' (W. & C. Tait, 1825), p. 51.〕
