Fort William, 8th Feb., the SOHO (schr.), McGregor, bound to Islay, with barley, reported yesterday as lying at Gairlochy with damage, is now on the Corran rocks, and likely to become a wreck: the wind is from the East, causing an increase of danger. [Record received incomplete].
NMRS, MS/829/70 (no. 4063).
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), presumably suggesting her successful recovery.
