What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kestrel as Steam Lighter (period Unassigned)-(1929). 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 *Kestrel* was a steam lighter built in 1929, used primarily for transport and assistance in Scottish waters. It was lost in 1929, likely due to an accident or operational failure, with no further details on lives or cargo lost; its significance lies in its role as an early 20th-century example of Scottish maritime transport infrastructure.
