Hello Caithness Org members. It has been lovely to see all the photos, especially old ones! The memories come flooding back. You have so many topics - and each one interesting.

I look forward to keeping up to date through your channels!

I'll have some more piccys coming on soon!

Thanks thirsaloon for your pics too.

I've been having a closer look at the Harbour picture and noticed that what I took to be a blemish, is actually 3 men standing in the tidal mud halfway alongside the hull of the right-hand vessel. Judging by the ladder propped up against the bow it looks as if they were having a break from scraping the keel.

This is one of the tickets from one of the carnivals that would visit the north, wonder if anyone remembers them?

Hey Thumper!

Aye, there was something about those bills, not like the till receipts you get now, but guess it cuts down on a lot of paperwork!

Had a couple of messages from folks that liked seeing them!

Glad to know they are of interest!

Thirsaloon,they are great!I would love to get a bill like that...mine usually have "pay up or less" written on them

Seriously though,they are works of art that have been sadly lost through time
