General History:
STRATHELLIOT was one of the Mark 1 pocket trawlers built by John Lewis & Sons who then developed the Mark 2 and 3.
On 15 April 1978 STRATHELLIOT stranded on Holborn Head and refloated with loss of steering, having lost both her rudder and part of her propeller, she was towed to Scrabster harbour by the Thurso lifeboat.
Due to severe engine and gearbox damage she was towed to Sunderland and scrapped in 1987. She was replaced by a 55ft Buckie built forward wheelhouse trawler. (Source: trawlerphotos.co.uk)
