Empire Bunting (probably)

Steamship (period Unassigned)-(1947)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Empire Bunting (probably) as Steamship (period Unassigned)-(1947). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Empire Bunting was a British steamship, likely built during World War II as part of the "Empire" class fleet. It was lost in 1947, probably due to a collision or grounding off the Scottish coast; no casualties were recorded, though it may have been carrying cargo such as timber or military supplies. The wreck remains a notable example of post-war maritime transport in Scottish waters.
