I had this handbook when I was a kid. I recognised the pictures straight away. I'm fairly sure the pic is up the west coast of Scotland but not 100%.

Definitely right there,looks like the 1960,s when you could dig a bucket of blacks in 20 mins and wonder how many cod you were going to catch,never a blank in those days.Note all the lads in oilskins no warm floatys in them days (if only there were any cod left now on the Clyde)

That is the Red Rocks south of Weyms Bay, I am sure there was a oil terminal there.

cheers mate memory a bit hazy a cousin took me there it was a long time ago ,all i can remember is parking on a private road climbing over a wall, placing a scaffolding plank across some smooth red rocks and fished off a little jetty where the water was crystal clear and a canny memorable day it was with a fair few fish up to 3lb in middle of summer on vatious baits
