Spanish Castle: Firth of Forth

Motor Fishing Vessel (20th Century)

What is recorded here

Spanish Castle: Firth of Forth was a motor fishing vessel lost in the Firth of Forth near East Lothian. The name suggests a castle, but the truth is a working boat that sank where the tide still moves. It may have carried fishermen, bait, net rope and ordinary hope before the water took it. The sea keeps that castle hidden, not in stone but in brass, timber and salt.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Spanish Castle: Firth of Forth as Motor Fishing Vessel (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.
