General History:
GLEN AFFRIC was one of John Lewis' 80 foot pocket class trawlers built for J. Marr who bought over Peter & J. Johnson of Aberdeen. GLEN AFFRIC was a sister vessel to GLENESK. Fished from starboard side only with the port side enclosed for more crew comfort.

GLEN AFFRIC was sold in 1981 to Michael Robert Keillor (J. Marr, Hull) who then sold it to John J. Buchan (Peter J. Johnstone Ltd & Bertie Gibson), Peterhead who were noted owners up to 1999.

In 2013 it was renamed FAIRLINE SURVEYOR with fishing gear removed and accommodation reconfigured to accommodate extra 15 crew. Conversion work carried out by Bill Mackie engineering works Peterhead, design by Macduff Shipbuilders. Now working as a multi purpose survey vessel.
