From Orkney and Shetland to the north east coast, and from Fife to
Berwick, fishing boats have been an important part of the maritime
heritage of Scotland. The original designs of fishing vessels were
based on Viking ships, but by the early twentieth century,
scaffies, fifies and zulus were being replaced by more modern
craft, all of which are included in this charming collection of
fishing boats of Scotland. The future of the fishing industry in
Scotland cannot currently be termed as promising; successive EEC
rulings gave resulted in a large diminution of fleet, and this,
combined with a regime of ever-changing restrictions and rules,
have made it impossible to work with current legislation and still
be economically viable. However, the author hopes that there will
be those who, either due to faith and enterprise or simply for lack
of other opportunity, will continue to invest and continue as
generations of their forefathers have done before. This book
illustrates the vessels that played a past in the fishing industry
in Scotland, with 200 old photographs accompanied by informative
captions.
