- Book Synopsis
- Spend thirty years or so roaming around Scotland checking out the fishing harbours and you'll encounter quite the variety of fishing craft. Take pictures of them and you'll end up with quite the collection of images of how things used to be. Fishing Boats Around Scotland is a compilation of the best of these photos, featuring vessels from over eighty different builders, boats that were built as far back as 1949 and a brief history of what became of them. From Kirkcudbright to Mallaig and Eyemouth to Burghead, ring netters and seiners to pelagic trawlers and beamers, this is the perfect journey for the fishing boat or maritime aficionado.
