It was made in Skarfskerry, 20 miles west of John O’Groats, Scotland.
This particular boat fished out of Dunbeath harbour for many years as part of a large fleet of boats. Dunbeath was once a big fishing village many years ago.
Previous owner of the boat, Robbie (on the left) is also the Chairman of the Dunbeath Harbour Association.
Dunbeath harbour is 30 miles south of John O’Groats.
The boat, which is clinker built, is about 100 years old and would have originally been 18 feet long. Now it is undergoing a makeover by artist Pete Hadfield and will become part of a performance installation at ‘The Edge’ in Birmingham.
