Davie,

Aye, I mind fine the Ugie Vale gan doon off Lossie and I mind fine seeing ,either the stran of the bow washed ashore at the East Beach, near the entrance tae the aul herber intae the Seatoon. I mind the Market Cross right enough. Thats right it was aye Jasper that had the bigger shots, I used tae dee the same in Lochinver, was a bitie auler then,mind you Davie, when gan tae school on the bike you could see the pier and oot the loch and if the Spinaway was in or steaming in, turn the bike and head for the pier and help land the shot. Great days right enough Davie, fan we were loons.
