I'm currently catalogueing early fishing boats in the Clyde area. I've come accross  two in 1903 called the Silver Craig, one in Inverary and one in Castleton. I wondered if anyone can tell me what and where the Silver Craig is so that I can include it in the boats files on my website.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Douglas

Good to see you on here Douglas am sure the coffin dodgers will be able to fill you in
Some people accuse me of thinking the world revolves around me, but it doesn't. It revolves around the Sun which shines out of my arse.
