    'At wis affa bonny min. Poetry. I lumped fish at the fish market in the late 70's and the variety of species was amazing. In the mid-70's as a newly-fledged teen I picked herring up off the pier (with permission) when the hopper became overfilled during unloading. You could fill a shopping bag in 5 minutes and be on your way. Then there was the batten(?) boats unloading hundreds of cut planks on to the quay where they sat for weeks. The 'Klondikers' sitting out in the bay. I waded through the mud looking for lobsters in car tyres when they deepened the Faithlie basin. Back then, when the weather was bad for an extended period, the harbour was full of boats. Sometimes 4 or 5 deep out from the quayside. My grandma had a hoose in Braidsea. 51 Main St. You stepped down into it at the front door and the livingroom window was at knee height on the street side. During the Summer, the braes were full of families having a wee picnic while the kids swam or rock-pooled. Thanks very much once again for the memories. ☺

    Thank you for the historical presentation of the Broch and I learnt alot. I lived there in the 1960s as a small boy having arrived there from Canada. I spent much of my time enjoying the freedom of exploring wonderful harbour, so I enoyed looking at the picture of the harbour. I lived there at time of the herring trawlers and I loved talking to the fisherman who were so friendly and kind to me giving me free fish. I used to keep an eye out for certain trawlers like the Tea Rose because the owner lived near us. Also your presentation shows a great view of the beach which I loved to explore and walk all the way to St Coombes.

    These early Christian monks brought wth them their Gaelic tounge, and they were the only ones who could write, - So naturally they imposed Gaelic place names everywhere. IMO the locals did not speak Gaelic. Gaelic was an imported thing from the West. I often wonder what the locals used to think, or say about those well off Christian monks within the walls of Deer Abbey with their strange Gaelic language. I wonder what the locals sounded like when they spoke Buchan?
