Old photograph of a fishwife by a boat in Auchmithie, location of the Scarlett Johansson film, Under the Skin in Angus, Scotland. Auchmithie was once a thriving fishing harbour, which in the early 1800s had a population of some 400. The harbour was home to 12 white fish boats, and large herring boats, and around 20 small boats fishing for lobsters and crabs. Auchmithie was also where the Arbroath Smokie was first produced.
