General History:
NORD FINNUR was one of two pocket class trawlers built for Faroes owners by John Lewis. The other vessel was VEST FINNUR SA390. NORD FINNUR was brought back to Peterhead in 1987 by James Buchan and George Baird along with VEST FINNUR. Both ships were renamed - NORD FINNUR was renamed STRATHGARRY PD 391 (VEST FINNUR was renamed STRATHSPEY PD390). Both vessels were fitted with full length shelter deck and rigged for pair trawl.
