Re: Mystery badge
Not a military badge, it's the badge of the C.T.C. -- Cyclists Touring Club.
There is a large version of it on a building in Elgin at the corner of Academy Street and South Street
that was once the Grand Hotel.

I have been indexing records for the 18th century for a long time now and married women in them are always referred to in their maiden names never with the husbands name e.g. Mary Smith spouse of or relict of David Jones. The only exception being where both had the same surname originally. Regards Jen

Hi Pam,

Re: Buckhaven Fishing Boat
There's a boat "Fisher Lass" listed on http://www.fishingboatheritage.com/ with the registration KY 1411( Kirkaldy)
but not a lot of information about it, gives an owner for 1889 as James Stevenson and the port of Cellardyke.
