This image certainly brings back memories of my childhood, Alan.
We used to fish for sillocks from Davie's boat, which was starting to show signs of neglect by then. This would have been around the early sixties. Jimmy Newlands's boat also had the berth shown when we fished at the West Pier.
I'm afraid I can't confirm these names.
