| JOHNNY MAIN'S HARBOUR | Johnny Mains Harbour Johnny Mains Harbour Johnny Mains Harbour Johnny Mains Harbour Johnny Mains Harbour |
William Pert Fisherman Ferryden Mr. R. Webster Tide Surveyor Mr. Murray Customs Officer G. Keith Esquire Propr. [Proprietor] Andrew Paton Fisherman |
035 | An old & well known name applying to a small creek or harbour on the north west side of "The Ness" point, near the mouth of the South Esk. This name, which has its origin from a person who saved a vessel here, has been duly inquired about as to its propriety and from the importance attached to the name, it is considered to be one of the proper names on the Coast which ought to be retained. It is generally known not like other numerous names which are given & known only to the fishermen of this Coast. Every rock creek & bay however small bear local names, and to adopt all would only tend to confusion. Those names adopted in the Parish of Craig, along the coast, are used & recognised by the proprietor as well as the officers of Customs in Montrose Harbour. There is a Capstan at the little harbour. It was erected to draw vessels off the Annat sand bank at the mouth of the river |
