Packing up

Hiya not sure if I’m allowed to post this here 🫣 I’m
Wondering if anyone has got any second hand packing boxes going spare that would otherwise be getting recycled in Galway area? Moving temporarily to a mobile home and I’ve so many books etc I need to pack up and put into storage but can’t find sturdy boxes. Also any packing tips welcome as I am an epic collector of bits and bobs and stuff and things 😩

80s billboard

Hiya, I know this is lonnnnng shot but I’m out of ideas. In the 80s (around 1985-87)my dad was on a paper billboard for Teachers Whisky (we think 🫣) The image was him at the bow of his boat at the mooring and there was one light on in our cottage on the mainland. I have been trying for years to get some sort of copy of it and Teachers don’t seem to have a record and as the only place we saw it was on a billboard in Glasgow when we were wee I thought maybe ye fine folk might be able to help. My dad drowned a year later while working from his boat and my brother, who himself became a fisherman and idolised dad, is turning 50 in August. I want so much to find a print of this billboard for my brother. I live in Ireland so I am relying on any help I can.
My dad was also in what I thought was Scots Magazine the year after his death (1988) with the title A True Man Of Knoydart but I can’t find a copy or knowledge of that either. My mum died in 2001 suddenly so I have no “adults” to get better info from.
TLDR: dad was on a whisky billboard in 80s and I’m desperate to find a copy
