Built at Wick as the Royal Burgh

Maybe it's the prototype o' yon fancy hand driers ye see in the lavvies o' the big shoppin' centres. And here was me, thinkin' these "old salts" were as hard as nails. Safties!!

The last I saw... the DEVERONSIDE, she was lying at the pier at Aultbea in Loch Ewe in a fairly poor state,a good 30 years ago, but then she was an old boat even then wi at least a 35 year working life behind her, If we,re lucky enough, we a get that way ....
