Agnes and Catherine: Castlehill, Dunnet Bay, Pentland Firth

Sloop (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Castlehill, Dunnet Bay, Pentland Firth: Agnes and Catherine, a 19th century sloop, still belongs to that coastline. The names sound like women, but they may have been owners, passengers or simply the voice of the port that sent her out. The Pentland Firth does not distinguish between a woman and a ship when it takes them; it only takes what enters the water.
