Nice looking boat at Lochmaddy, not sure if it was ever used for creels but a bonnie looking boat all the same.

    i would say she is orkney built.but i might be wrong 8:)
    Is this not the old Fram?
    The wheelhouse has a look of the orkney built boats right enuff, i'll need to ask about and get some details. 8:)

    the forefoot makes me think she is more a wick hull
    MCCAUGHYS OF WICK? OR MAYBE THE STROMNESS YARD- ( CANNAE MIND THE NAME  O IT!?)

    there was a boat yard down at burray in orkney called duncans boat yard they built boats not unlike the wick build boats
    I've got a feeling you might be right about Stromness, there are a few stromness boats down this way, same kinda shape.
