Village Belle III was given a massive overhaul in the late 1970s for Paul Gallagher, who later moved to Mull. Paul fitted a fairly big Cat into this Miller-built ringer hull and worked her on the scallops
As noted already on this board, Village Bell IV was built by Alex Noble & Sons of Girvan for the Jacksons (Neil had the Belle) and Willie (the Count) had Village Maid II
Paul Gallagher subsequently sold Viggage Belle III and then bought Village Belle IV. As I recall, John McAllister of Oban bought her off Paul and continues to own th4e vessel, which was purpose built as a ringer/pair trawler. Neil wouldn't have her strapped up for scalloping when built, hating the notion of scraping her up with dredges
The Maid ended her days washing out in Mallaig and was scuttled ... she was especially beautiful.
