    would say it would be the kirkwall one no way she is only 4.5 metres
    there was a fife creel boat i would say over 10 years ago the grandfather was out with his grandson shooting creels, the grandfather was lost over the side no doubt a rope rond the leg and was drowned the grandson brought the boat in alone i think he was only 10 years old, that boat was called the bluefin and i assume it would have been ky registered.also about 2 years ago there was a creel boat for sale at easthaven west of arbroath with the same name bluefin this one ended up in cornwall and was up for sale down there and im pretty sure it had a ky number im sure some of the arbroath lads will know for sure.
    forgot to add the easthaven bluefin that went to cornwall was a treeve 20 and had a brand new 1800 ford engine fitted
