(Location of loss cited as N57 30.0 W4 15.0).
I G Whittaker 1998.
The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. North Kessock Pier (NH64NE 121), North Kessock, East Pier (NH64NE 151) and South Kessock Pier (NH64NE 152) are at NH 6538 4787, NH 6558 4783 and NH 6552 4723 respectively.
The ferry presumably crossed the Kessock Narrows, between Inverness [name: NH 665 455] and North Kessock [name: NH 651 480].
