Comment on Fishwives Race for the Shawl – Sepia Saturday by Malcolm Smith

Wonderful photos, real treasures. I’d love to get some information about what the fishermen wore in Musselburgh. There is a lovely photo at http://livingmemory.org.uk/main.php?g2_itemId=5096 of Walter Watson of Fisherrow, Musselburgh, wearing a gansey of very unusual design – with cables along the length of the sleeves. Another photo of the 1912 Fishermen’s Walk http://www.flickr.com/photos/nationalmuseumsscotland/5793043981/ shows men in suits, waistcoats and shirts butno ganseys. Can anyone share photos or information about traditions of wearing and knitting ganseys in Musselburgh, please? Perhaps David Millar, above, would be a key informant.
Many thanks again for posting those delightful images,
Malcolm Smith.

Love the vibrant colors — well, except for the tripe. I would have a tuff time getting away from the beautiful plates and vases without spending way more than intended. Also the blue of the mosque was incredible. Thanks for the tour.

And I thought “Mr. Images Past” was the seller! Quite a spectacular place. So exotic!

Topkapi? Wasn’t there a film with Peter Ustinov called that?

We went out of season and it was great – not too crowded and not too much sales hassle, but a lot of restaurants were closed. I’d recommend an off-peak visit if you are not bothered about living off kebabs for a week or two They have a brilliant tram system for getting around and there’s lots to see.

Love the light touch to your writing. These are such evocative photographs – the Turkish Tourist Office should turn to you for doing such a great job for them. I have never been there, but you painted a wonderful picture.
