The Ha'Burn was originaly BF 326 (I think) she was owned by a James Runcie of Cullen, will ask the old man for more info.

Fine Ally, see if you can find out where she was built.

Aye will do causea. Cant seem to find her in Olsens !!!

Yer right Ally the Ha Burn is the Runcie boatie, the son of that chap lives in Lossie he was ex police chief in elgin George and the other brother was the engineer at the portgordon maltings.

George Runcie you say Robbie , stays beside Lossiemouth and has a yacht?? if thats the same man thats my cousin lol

Aye Davie thats the man he has a house in Lossie I will tell him yer here and to join S.N. the next time I see him, he is retired now.

Last time I spoke to young George he was out in South Korea fitting out an oil rig for working off Russia. I will go and phone my Mum and see if she can shed a little light on this boat.

Cheers Robbie

Thanks all, will dig out my shot of her sunk.

Ok here's what my Mum remembers about her.

Built in the late 1940's or the very early 1950's and she's sure by MacDuff ( but could have been at Banff ) for James Runcie ( George Runcie's father ) and she was the last fishing boat to work out of Cullen full time. Fished as a Seine netter she had one haul that was so big that they could do nothing with it and had to tow the net into Cullen harbour.

If I remember i'll ask my Uncle George and see if he can remember any more.

**By the way Ally your right she was built as the Ha'Burn BF326
