Photos from Bowmore Distillery




This is part of a collection of photographs donated to the Museum of Islay Life by Bowmore Distillery in 1998.  We do not have a record of the photographer's name, which is a great shame as whoever he (she?) was these are quality images taken by a skilled hand.  Can anybody help?  Does anyone recognise any of the folk in the pictures?
The fishing boats will have been engaged in the annual Fishing Boat Race in Port Ellen.  The Crawfish are very impressive specimens, and the boy with the jar of tiddlers is on the shore in Bowmore harbour.

    The man third from the left on fishing boat CN 132 seems to be holding a film camera and be filming?
    I wonder if that footage still exists?
