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.

I think the man in the light coloured jacket second in from the right looks like the late Peter McPherson, the fish salesman?

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.....
