Trawler Ellen Ann, Tobermory, Scotland, 13 x 10 inch ink drawing on cream paper by George C. Clark AVAILABLE
I am recently back from three weeks in Scotland. We spent 5 nights in Tobermory, the main town on the Isle of Mull in the Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. It is a lovely place with a sheltered harbor lined with brightly painted mostly 200 year old buildings. There is an active fishing fleet and Scotland leads the world in sustainable fish farming so the seafood here is amazingly fresh and delicious and reasonably priced. This is a page from my sketchbook. I drew this trawler unloading its catch while waiting for my wife and sisters to join me for supper at the Fish Cafe, an excellent restaurant located on this quay about a hundred feet from where I was drawing. I had plaice sautéed in lemon butter with roasted little fingerling potatoes and vegetables and a dram of the local Ledaig single malt whisky.
