I gather I cannot put up the website address, but if you google enablerpublications you will find them at the website, then click on Eyemouth.Enjoy.

Posted by Stew Bell on 12 February 2010 Ian Gillie was the lad standing with Alister, and the skipper of the boat was Peter Struthers. The boat 'Dolly Graham' was named after the Graham's who lived at Cliff Cottage ( I only remember Jimmy Graham and his dog Sheba!). Dolly apparently paid the down payment for the boat? Posted by Stew on 13 February 2010 The two lads are correctly identified as Alastair "Atty" Affleck and Ian Gillie. The first crewman to come into view was Ian's father, Andrew Gillie. The skipper in the wheelhouse was Norman "Belge" Dougal, who belonged Eyemouth.

Posted by Andrew on 30 January 2010 Hi is this the one you are looking for Hi, I live in Mallaig in the West Coast of Scotland! many Burnmouth families moved here (after the railway was opened up) to fish for lobsters. My own grandfather was Sammy Martin and other families were the Johnstons and the Aitchesons, all have descendants living here. As far as I can make out most Burnmouth fishing families were related to each other. Best wishes Jane Posted by Jane |Henderson on 18 July 2007 Posted by Bill on 30 January 2010 or this one Jane Henderson - I think I can give you information re Sammy Martin. He was the brother of my uncle by marriage, James Fairbairn Martin. I was shown the family gravestone in Ayton Churchyard, and the details are as follows: James Martin, died 19.9.21 aged 53 (mother of Sammy) Helen Fairbairn Martin d 13.10.35 aged 60 (mother of Sammy) Thomas Martin, d 2.12.51 aged 48 of TB (brother of Sammy) Agnes Martin died 13.1.1952 aged 52 (sister of Sammy; worked at Mallaig from a shed on pier) Mary Harrington Martin d 4.6.1967 aged 59 (sister of Sammy)Lived at Burnmouth with her cousin Alison Spouse Martin who was daughter of William Martin, brother of James. Mary died from a stroke. William Martin had a fishing boat called The True Vine - information in the Gulls Nest, Burnmouth. Mary Martin appears there in a couple of photos, with her cousin.
