Was originally being built as a trawler in Holland believed to have been purchased "on the stocks" by Robin Dennison. I think she went into service in 1963. It may seem amazing by today's standards but she used to make trips to the likes of Buckie for grain, feeding stuff etc - with a deadweight of about 100 tonnes that would be unheard of now.
