Is your family descended from a long line of fishermen and women?
If so then you may be able to help us.
Every year, Wyvex Media, which owns The Argyllshire Advertiser, publishes a super calendar of photographs depicting Scotland’s proud fishing heritage. Pictures of fishing boats and their crew, fishwives, ports and harbours.
This year we thought we’d open it up and see if any of our readers or online members can help. If you have any old family photographs, like the one here, depicting any of these things and would like your photograph to have a chance of appearing in our 2010 calendar then you can send it to us with some information.
Upload them or send it to us at our usual address!

Anyone who would like to submit a picture can do so by emailing – editor@argyllshireadvertiser.co.uk or by popping into the office in Lochgilphead’s Argyll Street.
