In the tiny Scottish seaside village of Talmine lies an old wreck. It was the 'Reaper'. Beached here in 1976 after being destroyed by fire in nearby Loch Erribol. A fine skeleton here but since I took this in 2014 I believe it has deteriorated somewhat. She was originally a fishing boast that was built in 1948 and based in Scrabster.

As I was photographing this, a local wag, informed me that it was fabled to be escaping with a chest of gold bars that was lost in the sands. Since then treasure hunters have sought in vain to find it. -:)
