The location assigned to this record remains unverified, as is the equation of this apparent wreck with the recorded loss of the Kildale that is cited by Whittaker. The information is presumably derived from an undated net snag; no diver or remote sensing survey is recorded.
UKHO chart no. 115 (1978, revised 1993) charts this wreck (PA) in about 50m depth of water 7.8nm NNE of Rattray Head. Several other wrecks are charted nearby.
