    I remember seeing her down here for the Mackerel. I think she paired with the Mystic III which was more or less identical as I remember. Big lumps of boats they were.
    One thing I couldn't understand is why the port side gutting shelter stopped short of the rail by a foot or so ?

    Scottish Maid was the same design I think although fully sheltered.

    Built for the broch Billy Cowe had Mystic his brother I think wisteria. Was the deckhouse cut back to allow warps to pass down the side (ootside) for saftey?

    Wistaria was Jimmy Nobles built. 2 x230hp Gardners into one gearbox, I think. Mystic app same length, but she was Sandhaven built.

    The Wisteria was built for Tony Cowe Billy's brother. Paired with the Mystic they made a mean team.

    Tony (Anthony Eden) Cowe. Named after prime minister!!! Think Raingoose was his first command. Up for correction.

    Neighboured with Jimmy McClement's Silver Harvester up in the Clyde a few years back before Ebbie passed away, caught plenty herring and sprats, had a Cat in her by then and fully sheltered.
    Wee Joe used to take up a cargo of Manx kippers to give to locals, mouths watering at the thought of them.  :-
