foot plough
The foot plough is a type of plough used like a spade with the foot in order to cultivate the ground.
==Scotland==
Prevalent in northwest Scotland, the Scottish Gaelic language contains many terms for the various varieties, e.g. ''cas-dhìreach'' "straight foot" for the straighter variety and on, but ''cas-chrom'' "bent foot" is the most common variety and refers to the crooked spade. Although no longer as common as they once were, they are still used in some places, especially the Outer Hebrides.
It is an implement of tillage peculiar to the Highlands, used for turning the ground where an ordinary plough cannot work on account of the rough, stony, uneven ground. It is of great antiquity and is described as follows by Armstrong:
In the Western Isles, with a foot plough though, perhaps one man can do the work of four men with an ordinary spade, so while it is disadvantaged compared to a horse-plough, it is also well suited to the country.
