Any information on this boat greatfully appreciated. I think the name was Valiant.

There was a Floresco KY217 built at Gerrards Arbroath in 1959. Became Floresco AH72 in the 70s. A 49 footer. Dunno if this is the one?

Nearest Olsens that I have is 1948, and only Valiant in that is INS126, owned John McKenzie, Lossie.

I think the boat you are after is DEO VOLENTE, KY217.
Built as EBENEZER BF435 in 1933 by W G Stephen, Macduff. Later became DEO VOLENTE KY217; CN 71; INS 77; ROSE, PD414; LAUREEN, A685; BF386.
Hope this helps.
