What is recorded here
Little Ross is a nineteenth-century schooner trapped off Slains Castle in Aberdeenshire. The ship has joined the coastal legend because it resists the expectation that ordinary vessels obey every tide. People imagine her sails still catching wind beneath the sea, pulling her toward the castle ruins while the North Sea holds her back.
