>>I once or twice went diving at St Abbs
When I was roughly 13 or 14(1960)I knew a reporter for the local paper - I delivered papers. He worked for "a modest wage" but it was obvious he came from a Dundee monied family - TR3a then a TR4 and a string of young ladies - fast cars & fast women?
Well into diving & photography on dives - 2/3 times a month from April to October it was off to St Abbs. The photos were magic - all I had ever seen was B&W TV pictures with Cousteau +Hans & Lotte Haas. He had colour photos blown up to sometimes around A3 size & framed - it looked like tropical waters with the clear water and the colours.
He was into trying to sell the pictures but production costs were high and the buyers were few & far between. No internet in these days to get to an audience - phone calls from Scotland to London were around 10p per 2/3 minutes (20/21p would buy a gallon of petrol) - that is if you could get a line - "lines are busy please try later"
