A small section of the harbour at Lybster in Caithness, Scotland. Lybster owes its origin to the fishing industry. A wooden pier was built in 1790 for use by the fishing boats. The village was founded in 1802 as a planned village by the local landowner, General Patrick Sinclair and his sons continued with its development. By 1859 some 357 boats operated from the harbour, making it the third busiest fishing port in Scotland, only exceeded by Wick and Fraserburgh. By this time there were some 1500 fishermen at sea, (Wikipedia) HWW! and a large view if possible please,

The beach on South Bay at Saltcoats, which sits on the North Ayrshire coast of the Firth of Clyde opposite the Isle of Arran. In 16.9 format therfore a large view would be appreciated, HFF and a nice weekend! Saltcoats owes its name and its existence to the discovery here of easily worked coal deposits in the 1200s, when the monks of Kilwinning Abbey operated mines here. A common early use for coal extracted from coastal deposits was to provide the heat to evaporated sea water to produce salt, and the shores here rapidly became lined with sheds in which coal fires burned 24 hours per day under large pans of sea water. This must have been a pretty unpleasant place 800 years ago. www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ardrossan/saltcoats/index.html
