Old Boat of Caol

Abandoned on the stony beach between Caol and Corpach where Loch Linnhe meets Loch Eil, rests the ‘MV Dayspring’. Nicknamed ‘Golden Harvest’ she worked out of Kilheel in Northern Ireland as a trawler boat, fishing herring & mackerel until 2001. She was retired to Kinlochleven Pier in 2009 with plans to transform her into a floating restaurant. During a violent storm in 2011, Golden Harvest broke free from yet new moorings at Camusnagaul Bay, when the coast guard was required to rescue then guide her to her pebbly repose in the shadow Ben Nevis. She remains there, a photogenic and beloved celebrity.
