Fisherman and Child

Fisherman and Child
As we returned to the mainland from the small isles aboard the CalMac Ferry the M/V Loch Nevis the days Sun and been replaced by a thickening sea mist, the ships Fog Horn blasted a safe passage to the port of Mallaig, as we came nearer to shore the mist backed away and the ghostly figures appeared on the end of the breakwater,

The statue of a Fisherman and Child that stands at the entrance to Mallaig Harbour on the west Coast of Scotland. The statue was donated to the community of Mallaig by the sculptor, the late Mark Rogers of Knoydart. Mallaig was once the Europe's busiest Herring Port and is the most westerly harbour on the British Mainland.
