Kishorn Dock - a unique mark

Have a watch of Rigs of Nigg,very interesting if you like this sort of thing?
Was on bbc Scotland the other night so should be on the iPlayer.

Thanks Dek. I'll see if I can find that.
I remember watching the big jackets for north sea oil rigs being loaded out from Greatham on the Tees estuary. Laings had a big dry dock and fabrication yard there. It's now come full circle and the same facility is being used by Ables to dismantle and recycle offshore structures. They are currently working on their third Brent field oil rig and redundant gas rigs from Nova Scotia and the Lincolnshire gas fields.

Probably?
Lived on a dredger in the 70’s and one job was doing the docks there.
The ghost ships did look a bit scooby doo spooky when you went past Able’s yard!?

It's a long time since I heard that Stan.

You never know in life. Just found out that Robin Watson (part of Gaberlunzie) passed away last week, throat cancer.
