What is the harbour pictured Keith?

I think this is Wick and is that point in the background not referred to by the Weekers as the Orkney mans point?
Some misheld legend that lots of Orcadian seafarers have run ashore on it, dont know if that was on arrival or departure from that fair town!!

I agree with Tommy & John, Wick.

Looks like the beacon on the old pier head at Wick.

I saw the wheelhouse in Carradale being used as a shed a few years ago.

After i saw this photo i asked the old man why they had 2 gilsons at the trawl,he said no reason but to make it look pretty.
Added by Deeno on 04 March 2010
It is definately Wick, no doubt about that.

The 2 gilsons are for at the clams.
She has some cladding on her side there.

She was at the clams on the west coast working out o' Tobermory, Johnno was down too wi' the Flourish, and the Enterprise as well... I thought it would been earlier than 1969, but if thats the right date for the Kildinguie gettin' built, she must have been new when she was on the west coast. I was Skipper on the Shapinsay at that time working the west coast....
