I can't agree that fishing communities are dead.
Many communities have lost their deep-sea fleets and those that are left are having hard times but they are not yet dead, it's just a matter of scale. You could view it as a return to pre-industrial fishing days.

Hi Fitz,

Interesting article..

Do we have any time scale type thingy for the change from fishing to farming around the coast of the uk?.I would imagine that perhaps the in the west coast of scotland the fishing communties may have lasted a little longer..but i suppose it comes down to supply and demand, and if that demand gets too hard to supply..
Its interesting to link the rock art landscape to the fishing communities, you can almost lay a map over both the rock art landscape and the fishing communities in Dumfries & Galloway..(as well as mining areas)..
