Super Photos.
The photo of the Herring Gutters is great - anyone recognise anyone?
The James More Curing Station was my g'grandfather James d1916 then run by g'father Dan More d1949.
Anyone link to the Calder and Davidson Curing Stations on photo 12?

Anyone know who owned the WK 683 boat the FRUITFUL?

The Johnston Photographers: Whilst it says 3 generations it should read FOUR PEOPLE ie 1st Gen -Alexander Johnston (1839-1896) who started it and his brother James Johnston my g'grandfather(1854-1922), 2nd gen - Alex's son William, 3rd Gen - William's son.

Thanks very much. It is great to find these bits of data.
I know a relation of Donald Downie so will pass this on.
