Old Photograph of fishing boats in the harbour in Newhaven, Edinburgh, Scotland. A harbour village on the Firth of Forth, within the City of Edinburgh, Scotland, between Leith and Granton. The Society of Free Fishermen of Newhaven, dating from at least 1572, was one of the oldest friendly societies in Scotland. It survived until 1989. The Free Fishermen’s Society was devoted to looking after their members and families. It gave financial assistance when there was illness or injury that prevented the member going to sea, or needed assistance with funeral expenses.
