The harbour at Arbroath, Angus, Scotland fimed 30 years ago in 1982 when locally based fishing vessels still plied their trade. My video shows some of the boats unloading their catch and the fish being auctioned off on the quayside. Scenes never to be seen again.
The guid 'aul days - The Eight Belles - AH.80 (my Father & Uncles boat), The Marigold - AH.50 (Dave Milne's boat), The Endeavour - AH.38 (John Swankie's (Polar) boat), The Lodestar - AH.44 (Tom Duffs boat), The Argus - AH.30 (Alex Teviotdale's boat), Johnny Ferg (Ferguson) from the AFA selling the fish and a few 'feel kent' faces! When this video was taken, I used to go to sea every school holiday & then later went to sea full time aboard the Eight Belles. I miss those days!

This is how I remember the Harbour from my days as a bairn. Good stuff.
