At last a nice Dog.

Somewhere near here ?? - goo.gl/maps/ZZPD8c1ehvXug7Dn7 - going by the two islets. Looks like the house might have been demolished or rebuilt. See also catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000734578 [I thought the small house in the distance was a dog kennel at first glance!}

beachcomber australia You just beat me to it. However, I was going to suggest this house due to the change in roof height and angle of the islands. No turf fires in that house anymore. goo.gl/maps/GcpceSbfaaonykLB7

Mike Grimes I think you are right. See also - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000734571

I can't imagine this was why Denis Tynan visited Arranmore in 1975, but the big news that year was the sad loss of six men when a trawler sank in January. In other news, the island was to get a fire service - equipment was to be provided and fishermen trained in its use. But the best good news story was Mrs Gallagher and her twin boys.

Twins born 40 miles apart TWIN boys were born at the weekend in two different hospitals to the wife of a fisherman drowned in the Donegal trawler disaster in January. She is Mrs. Marie Gallagher, mother of five other children, who thought she was expecting only one baby. Her husband was Mr. Hugh Gallagher, one of the six drowned when the trawler Eveline Marie sank oft Rathlin O'Beirne island. Mrs. Gallagher was taken by open boat from Arranmore Island, off the Donegal coast to a mainland hospital at Dungloe. After delivering a boy, the doctor realised another child was on the way. Thirty-year-old Mrs. Gallagher was transferred to Letterkenny County Hospital 40 miles away. There. she gave birth to a second boy. Today mother and boys were reported to be "satisfactory." The twin who arrived first is still in Dungloe Hospital.

(Belfast Telegraph - Monday 21 April 1975) [Incidentaly sixty years ago this month my mother gave birth to undiagnosed twins, but that was at home, with preparations for only one baby]

Name those cars! ... ... ...

Interesting selection of what would now be considered classic cars here. Mainly NI or UK reg too with just one local reg, EZP, that I can make out. Nice Rover P5 out towards the pier...probably not local. Couple of Hillman Avengers too and Mk 1 Escorts, Renault 12 in saloon and estate versions, Hillman Hunter, Sunbeam (as it would have been then) Alpine, Capri, a couple of Cortinas (Mk 2 saloon and Mk4 estate), Peugeot 404, a Morris Marina and Yayyy...a Fiat 126 Bambino! Do I get a prize beachcomber australia ?
