The Scottish Comedians

A black and white photograph of a long wooden pier extending into the distance over a tidal flat. A child is running down the center of the pier, while another child in a heavy coat stands beside a stroller, looking out towards the water. The pier is lined with railings and old-fashioned street lamps, and a railway track runs parallel to the walkway. The horizon is misty, with a faint outline of a distant shoreline and a tall structure in the background. The scene has a nostalgic, vintage feel.
