Fisherfolk

On a very cold and windy day beside Fisherrow beach it seemed appropriate to blip this tribute by Chris Hall to the "Fisher Folk" of Musselburgh. It shows a father and son framed in a boat, symbolising the sacrifices that many fishermen of Musselburgh made in seeking fish for the people of the Edinburgh area in days gone by. As an ugly black litter bin was just behind I show only part of the women who gutted and trudged around selling their fish.
