This image again features the Fish Market which stood on pier No1 until it was demolished in 1972. Its design is echoed in the Ferry Terminal on pier No 3 built in 1997. Amity House to the left has survived remarkably unchanged. The pilot whales being hunted in the foreground refer to an earlier incident in the 19th century when hundreds swam into the estuary. We still know little about why this happens, but a similar incident occurred two years ago on Traigh Mhor below my studio where 50 pilot whales died on the beach.
