My cousin,Knox Davidson was in her for a while in CN. She was bought into Portavogie and was renamed Pathway. Did she not neighbour the Nan Mc Murra.

Bobby Watters?
Nan McMurrar was bought by Wm Palmer he called her PATHWAY. Maureen bought by John Cully he called her BOY KEN. I saw her not long ago in Peel bad way.
naw bob watters, he was a neighbour of mine when i was a youngster and his daughter is a neighbour of my mother, rather sadly in fact my two kids found him dead lying outside the local swimming pool when they were quite young, they'd run outside while the wife was speaking to someone and found him lying on the ground, he'd had a heart attack after his daily swim.
still think its shamus, duncan's brother, tho i could be assuming, they worked the boat just the two of them by time i left school in late 70's, pair of proper gentlemen

yes nan mc murrar , re named, pathway , by willian, palmer and sons. later on his 2 sons fished till they both retired. was sold on to ardglass, then onto isle of man.before they got pathway the had white heather. as for boy ken. owned by late jonnie cully, paired with boy,s pride at herring ringing was maureen before she came to portavogie.from campbeltown the wee toon as it was or still called many years myself fished out of it.
who was considered the best builder when this boat was built. weatherhead, millers, Reekie ?
hard one to answer maist folk would be biased ,,personally i dinny think reekie made a good lookin boat,
nobles of broch and girvan made bonny boats,
some weatherhead skiffs are ok, some are too bananna shaped,,
millers ,,they made bonny boats,
this is jist my opinion,
others will favour differently,,
