Mystery location

Scrap Fishguard, hill in the wrong place....

I thought Scottish with the hills in the background. The buildings & hills look a bit like this in Aberdeenshire,Goudon harbour?

I go fishing at Gourdon, nae hill behind it like those ones

On seeing the photograph my first thoughts were of a canal but can't make out any towpath and the framing to the right again to me looks more like a fence post, and you are right as far as VC is concerned the camera is relatively new

A New Year mystery. How intriguing!

Have you tried contacting the seller to see if they might know?

Think the seller was a dealer more than someone selling an family heirloom.

I’m inclined to agree with Scottish or Canadian port, however, it also reminds me of some of the small ports in Co. Down & Co. Antrim on the east coast of Northern Ireland, fits in with the hills, however the building to the ring with all the windows, what is this ?, is it possible to scan the photos into 4 more higher resolution photos, focusing on some of the building features and harbour features ?.

Bob has also asked this question on fb. Someone has suggested mallaig

It has potential.




Taken a good few years later and from a slightly different angle.


If it is mallaig that’s really freaky because that’s just up the road ! The eBay dealer was in Bristol where we brought the camera from.

I think its Mallaig too.
There's a building that looks like a ?church with a steeply pitched roof up on the slope behind the harbour buildings, near trees, in both pics.
Found this image where the hilltops looks similar.

Thanks VC. That’s brilliant, the case for mallaig is building nicely.
We may have to go on a road trip!

More old photos of Mallaig at https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...ture=emb_title

I think you and Bob should go there and take a photo from the same position - a then and now image.
