26-12-07 The Morning After
[Goodbye to Boots and Oilskins -Freddy Gillies]The morning after dawned clear and mild in Carradale.

Amongst the goodies left by Santa was a copy of Freddy Gillies' new book "Goodbye to Boots and Oilskins " which tells the story of the west coast fishing fleets of Carradale and Campbeltown, with literally hundreds of photographs of the boats that plied these water up and down the years, engaged in what is the undisputed most dangerous profession carried out in and around the UK.

Self-published by Ardminish Press, on Gigha, the ISBN number is 9-780955-376528 and costs £12.99.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
