Surely one of the greatest fishwives in history
Gwen Page said:
I love this. It would be great to see more photos of women from this time - see what their lives were like.

"The fishwives of Newhaven were famous for both their beauty and confidence. They carried the fish their men had caught in baskets on their backs up to Edinburgh to sell it. Whenever storms at sea made the fishing especially dangerous and the price of fish rose, they were heard saying 'It's no fish ye're buying, it's men's lives'. The phrase became internationally known after Sir Walter Scott used it in his novel, The Antiquary." -- National Galleries of Scotland caption

It's funny seeing the name "Liston" here. When I was a boy in Musselburgh in the 1960's, I had a classmate, Kate Liston, who belonged to a traditional Newhaven/Granton fishing family. This chap must be an ancestor of some sort !
