This image, taken in the 1960s, showcases the raw beauty and charm of the area, with its traditional fishing boats nestled alongside the quay. The men, dressed in warm clothing, are busy at work, mending nets or loading and unloading the catch of the day. The Orion mast of one of the boats stands tall against the sky, a symbol of the hardworking maritime community that thrived in this remote yet vibrant part of Scotland. The water reflects the diverse range of boats, from small fishing vessels to larger cargo ships, creating a stunning mirror image.
