Lying at Ullapool 14/09/10
Amazing condition, where was this one built and where does she normally lie?
I think she was built in Ardrishaig but don't know the history of her
She was restored by a guy at Granton 10or 12 years ago he took her to Johnshaven when he flitted up there, I think she sank there and he lost interest and sold her to someone on the west coast.
Clan Gordon, built 1911
Type = Loch Fyne Skiff, Length = 37'
Skipper = James MacGregor
CLAN GORDON - 1911 - Length overall (37ft)
This Loch Fine skiff was built in Argyll in around 1911 for ring net fishing on the West Coast, where she spent her working life. She fished until the 1960s, when she was bought by the then coxswain of Aberdeen lifeboat for conversion into a pleasure vessel. In the 1980s and 1990s she was extensively restored at Granton in a manner sympathetic to her original design.
