It was a sad day for the people of Buckie when the Fishing boat Carinthia went missing with the loss of six men. The following report was read out in Parliament on the 29th of June 1979….

“Carinthia” sailed from Buckie at about midnight on 24–25 June bound for the fishing grounds off Noup Head, north-west of Orkney, with a crew of six on board.

At 1900 hours on Wednesday 27 June a lifebuoy marked “Carinthia” was found on the west side of Rousay, Orkney. This caused inquiries to be made by the coastguard to try to establish the ship’s whereabouts.

It was established that the vessel’s last known contact had been at 0900 hours on Tuesday 26 June, when “Carinthia” radioed the fishing vessel “Crimmond�� that she was making for the Minches. Her position at this time was about 27 miles north-west of the mainland of the Orkneys. There was a north-westerly wind of force 8 at this time. The fishing vessel “Crimmond” was unable to regain radio contact with “Carinthia” an hour or two later.

Following the finding of the lifebuoy, coastguard and coastal radio stations in Scotland immediately broadcast an alert, and ships in the area started searching. The Kirkwall and Stromness life-boats 778 were launched, and an RAF Nimrod commenced searching at first light on Thursday 28 June in the Wick-Orkney-Shetlands area. The search area covered approximately 2,500 square miles, and it was hampered by low cloud in the initial stages. I regret to have to inform the House that, following a thorough search of the area, the search and rescue operation has been abandoned and the “Carinthia” must be presumed lost. “

There is very little online about this tragedy the men who perished were Eddy Lawson 30 , James Lobban 52 , Murray ‘Partan’ Lobban 21 , David Flett 24 , Richard Mair 41 & Charles Cargill 28 . five of whom came from Buckie and one from nearby Findochty, the ship nor the bodies were never recovered.

Spare a thought for the friends and family of the crew who lost their loved ones.

It’s Morsetache Monday!

I present to you…the pretty man with the epic moustache in the darling village where it’s all a big mess underneath the tea roses.

I sit in this fancy room full of objets d’art and am still the best looking thing in it. Moustache Power.

I have just said two snarky things to Dorothea, who has taken it in stride, as is her wont.

I am Much Too Good for you, but you have a kid so I’m helplessly charmed. Also: I’m rocking The Scottish Coat.

I am sleepy and adorably rumpled. I am also confused by Strange’s cryptic warning to trust no bugger.

I’m explaining things to dumb people, but I look good.

In which I squinch up my face and snarkily proclaim to my mentor that I’ve got a life. 

Additional Snark. This episode is a 10 out of 10 on the Snark-o-Meter.

In which I realize I was sucking face with the murderer. It will become a habit.

Plenty more fish.

not to be light-skinned but if you look at anybody simply cooking a piece of fish and say "where is the seasoning?!" then you're fucked in the head bc butter salt & pepper (and maybe some lemon if you're feeling fancy) is all you need to make that shit taste good, i will not fight anyone on this. we just need to get behind it. more can be good but you dont NEED more than that. let's make world peace happen etc etc etc.

Otters are adapted to life on both land and in water. They have webbed feet for swimming, dense fur for warmth, and can close their ears and nose underwater. My drawing is available…

Shell Bay, Fife

Ruddon's Point is a rocky piece of land that sticks out into the Forth between Largo Bay and Shell Bay , time was getting on so I didn't explore there and cracked right on and onto Shell Bay.

The stretch from Lower Largo to here is a little over 7 miles and relatively flat, there were a handful of people on the beach here, the first I came across since Largo. The start of this beach is a wee bit rocky, but the majority is a nice sandy beach, I had seen a few jellyfish earlier, but here there were many stranded on the beach as the tide went out.
