What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Skovdal (probably) as Steamship (period Unassigned)-(1917). 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 *Skovdal* was a steamship built in 1917, likely lost during World War I, possibly due to enemy action or a storm. No details on lives or cargo lost are recorded, but its wreck remains a historically significant artifact of early 20th-century maritime activity.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
