Handover Notes

The Taylors gave up the lease of the Kilchoan Fishings in late 1984 when they decided not to buy Fascadale. They then advertised the sale of their fishing gear in the Oban Times. Mark James, who wanted to start netting at Skipness Castle on Loch Fyne purchased this equipment. Having bought it, Mark contacted Paul Taylor looking for a bit of advice on setting the nets. Paul sent Mark the diagrams shown below in early 1985. Mark James went on to purchase Fascadale in late 1985. The diagrams turned up again in 2025 amongst the Fascadale papers sent to and kept by Dochie Cameron. Nicki James had sent them to Dochie after her husband Mark’s tragic death in 1991
