Fearnan – Seventy Five Years in Pictures

In the last Blog, we were able to share these 2 views of Fearnan from the south bank of the loch – one from the 1940s and one from the 1970s:

Since publishing these images, we have received four more which let us chart the development of Fearnan (as seen from the other side of the Loch) from the 1940s to the present day:

Many thanks to Peter and to Niall Munro of Shoreside for sharing their pictures.
