No no Bill,I'm afraid you will have to have another look at the photo,they are at the broken quay and are on the bottom,the brickworks does look close right enough,will post another photo so you will see.

I'm getting it now Wull,must have been looking at it with the blin ee,

Would that be the same "hopeful" later owned by Johno Davidson fae Shapinsay before he had the "Argonaut" & "Flourish"?

Yes wmac thats the same boat,the chap that had the Hopeful got a new boat built in Fraserburgh,named her Maureen WK 270

Primula WK97 and Annabel WK 92 lying behind them I think

Aye your doing a bit of guess work now Donald!!!

Not thinking that Im too far of though Great what you can do with adobe picture viewer
The other picture you put in of Thurso harbour has the Amber Queen and the Crest but what is the one nearest the quay??

You have the technology,will travel,what one has the Amber Queen in it,will have to compare

Sorry Wullie It was the Loch Fyne in the picture It was one you put in the ports and harbours section of Thurso 1950
