    Ye wid easy ken that wis a Whitehills boat, despite , dare I say untidy look ....and the boarded up wheelhouse windae, cos the man sitting on fishroom hatch , maybee splicing a rope is wearing the almost standard dress o the Whitehills men, and similarly , the Auchies at that time......dungarees wi a bib. In the early to mid 60s, the ..Fitehills men were sometimes . maybee unfairly known in some quarters as Mou /Mou s in reference to the natives o the Belgian Congoe, who apparently were a wild bunch during those years.. 8:)
    Better barricade yer doors and windaes, man. There's still a wild streak in maist o' the anes I ken!!!
    a dinna think the foxglove wis a untidy boat ,as for windas being boarded up that wis sounders and wireless,and mou mous came fa sandend.
