Hello,

You are certainly right about fishing boats but with luck help is coming. We are working on Scottish built boats for the Shipyard database, but there is a long way to go. On the other hand < I think there is enough data in now to make it worthwhile checking the database for any boats you need information about.

Both these boats were built by Herd & Mackenzie at Buckie and we have all their boats in the database but details are not yet complete. I have put these two in this morning if anyone is interested. Go to

https://www.clydeships.co.uk

If there are any Scottish built boats either not in the list or without details, that you really want to know about - let me know and we can prioritise them.
We are also short of photographs, if anyone can help with these, please let me know.

Regards,
Richard
