<< Hi Dave,
Well....now, you are asking and I don't know!

A Master Flesher/Butcher with a business would have need of a
Skinner I suppose, perhaps may have been employed by the Tanner or a
self employed business. I think it would have been a separate
business, as there would not be many animals slaughtered in one week
at one Fleshers shop.

Or the Flesher may have employed a skinner, does anyone else know?

It takes a great shill to gut and skin an animal if one is going to use the
hide. There would be considerable work between the butchers and knackers
around Inverness.
