Harbour Wall

Harbour Wall
Staxigoe Harbour, improved early 19th century. A natural haven with a gently sloping shingle beach, protected by long reefs. Quay walls have been added on both sides of the haven, This is a small rural village that still has a few local boats fishing mostly for crab and lobster it is situated on the east coast of Caithness,
It was once the largest Herring salting station in Europe with up to 50 herring boats anchoring at this small harbour.

Large if you wish.

The colours and rippling reflections are beautiful Roger. I love the different shapes and colours of the walls. Interesting information as well. I have a book about herring salting in Scotland and the north of England with some excellent pictures in it. HWW.
