About MeThis book is part of an archive that belonged to Joyce Laing OBE. The artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, was a personal friend of the donor.On the front cover is a close-up photograph of the identification number of a vessel: KY. 64 and inside the book are lists and/or photographs of docked vessels in various Scottish harbours (Methil, Ardrossen, Dundee, Castlebay, Granton, Rothesay, Kirkwall, Alloa and Fraserborough).
Inside this book was a torn half of an invitation card to a Private View at Pittenweem Arts Festival from August 2002, on the reverse of which are some handwritten notes about the featured boats and their owners.
