    Dod Milne's Oor Lass nearest the camera,then his brother Joe's new Era (both AH lads)then Ackie and Peems Aurora fae Pitulie and the wee yawl on the outside I cannae mind her name but she was at the creels for a wee while...the name Valiant comes to mind,no 100% sure on that one though.Nice photo Ally,around the very late 60s or early 70s maybe.
    The Oor Lass was in Johnshaven for a while, the late Francie McBay had her and went to the cod nets and the creels, I think he bought her fae Dod, must have been not long after this photo was taken

    Dod got the Oor Lass from  Johnshaven mid 60s and sold her to Brid 79.
    There was an Oor Lass in Stonehaven A36 in the mid-late 50s I think she was owned by D Forsythe She was lost after catching fire off Clythness in 1958 and finished up under the lighthouse  Does anyone have a photo of her???
