Scotland - Tarbert - Fishing trawlerman return to port

A fisherman returns to his home port of Tarbert on the western Scottish Mull of Kintyre, a quiet community in the western Isles. Looking towards the quay that will receive his boat called Prospector and where he is to unload their catch of shrimp. The man is probably the breadwinner who supports the family - his livelihood dependent of fisheries policy and EU quotas that dictate how much fishermen are allowed to catch per day/per week. But he is safe after a period at sea and appear happy to have returned with a catch to sell.
