Great photos Amron but sorry, can't help. Must ask the parents to have a look. I don't know if it's just me but I find myself looking at old photos and seeing people I know now. The fella, second on the left, looks like Norman Gillespie! (I know, probably just me!!)

Taken at Dalintober Pier? Buildings in the background have changed a wee bit.
Yeah Ship I agree..would be nice to see if we can find out how they were..I might see if Angus Martin has any idea... This is when I wish there were names on the back of photos...lol
Managed to find out some names and the boat with the help of Cecil Finn and Dennis Meenan....the boat is MFV Kestral fromleft to right James Robertson (gypsie) John Wareham (boss man) he owned Kestral and Kittiewake the 3rd from left dont think he is a fisherman...as he was differently dressed and was wearing a watch and not sure of the last one my auntie thought it was her uncle Charlie Durnan..but going from other photos we are not sure...do think he resembles a Morrison...
Hoping some older members might manage to give some more information.....
Just giving this a wee bump to see if I can get any more info on photo....think it could be dated around 1950's...just to try and see if wee mo is in this or if he knows who it is..
