Looks a bit like Bridge Street in Wick to me. It's maybe 1920s and the statue left of centre, which seems to be on the at ide of the river, is no longer there.

Yes, must be with shop owners called Dunnet and a Begg. That is the War Memorial at the far end

Yes that's it I don't have a date but Charles would be right or early 30's at the latest, the war memorial is still there beside the roundabout at the south side of the bridge with the hospital on the hill above it.

Yes, I think I got a little confused over the War Memorial. In the photo, I placed it where the roundabout now is so thought it had gone but I've slightly underestimated the depth of field to where it actually is beside and not on the roundabout.

As seen from the other side. I'm guessing this was taken during the 1960's

That must have been their summer day for that year

Possibly for the entire decade of the 60s!

Given the likely date of this photo, it's entirely possible that my mother or my father or any of my four grandparents could be in it since all were resident in Wick at the time. My great uncle worked in a shoe shop just off the left hand margin of the photo.

Another out of town.

 

[JockWatt]

Ullapool ????????????

[IBM]

No 

[Second Row]

I haven't been on this site for a while, but good to see this topic is still running.

Is this a photo of................Q*** Street, ***tr**?

[+weeman]

I think Second Row is right

 

[IBM]

Both right Quay Street Portree, I have no idea of the date as there are no cars  but I would guess the 50's. 

[IBM]

This one is a bit easier, but what is the name of the boat entering the harbour?

 

[JockWatt]

Queen Mary ? !

[IBM]

No 

[+weeman]

Does it rhyme with no?

 

[Second Row]

It rhymes with the note before ...."T....a drink with jam and bread"

[+weeman]

"O" Of course. The one before the Hamnavoe
