Many thanks Peter for the information, thought she must be a little elderly looking at the design although would have put her older than you have. Was she a traditional style that continued into the last century?

Lizz According to Angus Martins book "The Ringnetters" The innovation of this design was with the building of the Falcon by J Miller in St Monance in 1922 for Campbelltown owners It should add she was built for ringnetting not seine netting as she was being used for in the picture
I think the 3 men on the Mhari Bahns deck were Wullig Anderson in the bow Johners Sinclair beside the wheelhouse and Mike Miller aft
All best
