This should be viewed along with picture #1086 which shows most of this scene apart from the right-hand third of the pic. If you click on the Larger Pic link you will see a blow-up of this third which includes some people, the harbour office and the ship on the right.

When cleaning up this pic we saw what looks to be a notice board on the Girnal wall. As Dave said, "if this was Hollywood you'd ask me if I could get a little closer and after a few seconds we'd be reading the notices and checking them for fingerprints".

After using the enlarged version of this inner harbour photograph, I'm convinced the boat alongside
the basin below the Custom's Sheddie, is the first Cromarty Lifeboat ''BROTHERS''. Cromartyfied
this gave rise to my Grandfather's by-name, in the fishertown he was known as ''Bodders''.
