The School House, Carradale.
Postmarked Carradale Pier, Feb 1908.

A hand-coloured print of the river and houses at Waterfoot.
Can't quite make out the registration of the fishing boat but it looks like CN?5.
Like many of our old photos this one is a postcard, and the postmark is dated 1962.

Several fishing boats at low tide at Waterfoot. Their numbers are
CN74?, CN71 (Bairn's Pride), CN269, and CN3 (Watercress).

Another view of the river and houses at Waterfoot, postmarked 1966.

Nice hand-coloured print of the river and houses at Waterfoot.
Notice the 'barking tank' in the left foreground, which was used for treating the
fishing nets to prevent them rotting.
