This episode is a conversation with Allan and Cameron Maclean of Tobermory.
Cameron and Allan are brothers, Cameron born in Tobermory and Allan on Tiree.
We talk about so much in this episode. Places of the past, people of the past of both Mull and Tiree, fishing practice and fishermen.
Please note that I make an error when we talk about the Taeping both in the conversation and the correction at the end – for I am a fud. The boat that the Taeping beat was the Ariel – not the Cutty Sark. Once again, I am a fud.
Thanks for listening!
