 Description
Text on negative envelope reads 'Findochty. Close up of east houses with harbour & rocky coastline beyond'. View of narrow streets of one-and-a-half and two-storey housing and the harbour. Some of the rows of houses back directly on to one another. Finding room to hang out the washing was not easy. The rows are gable-on to the sea. Across the harbour there are semi-detached and detached houses sheltered by the hill on which the war memorial stands.
