Scottish Lye Soap

Deborraha Burnett-Carbone ladles Scottish Lye Soap at the 2011 Cattaraugus County Fair. You should stop and talk to her about the differences between American Lye Soap and Scottish Lye Soap and the history that her family has had making soap!

Deborraha and other people at the Heritage village at the Cattaraugus County Fair will show and teach you about the ways of the past. See this photo on Flickr of Deborraha teaching kids about old utensils.
