Alnwick Castle: Sound of Jura

Schooner (20th Century)

What is recorded here

Alnwick Castle: Sound of Jura is a twentieth-century schooner in the Sound of Jura. The name Alnwick Castle sounds like a grand house, but the thing is a working boat, small enough to carry people or goods across open water. The castle may have lived in the naming mind of its owner, proud or playful, while the hull did the honest work of cutting through salt and wind.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Alnwick Castle: Sound of Jura as Schooner (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
