    1 of 3 owned by craig group. pride ,pioneer and protector all identical. they must have had these for about 20 years now. when i started with them in 91 this was where the good boys went. someone must have tipped off sandy macleod  and i went straight on the grampian harrier which was  an ex ferry. she was laid up later the next year.
