I'm a leatherworker. I made my own sporran and want to do a kilt belt, but the hardware is hard to find stateside.

The Polaris subs were docked at Holy Loch. It was returned to Scotland and base shut down completely. Edzel is RAF base that hosted US Navy Oceanographic Monitoring station.

Early Viking influenced vessels were called “birlins”.

Don’t forget the “Cutty Sark”!

[@nanabutner]

Was the Cutty Sark a Scottish ship?

[@douglasfrank9323]

I would say yes as it was built in Dunbarton, Scotland .

[@nanabutner]

@@douglasfrank9323 Thank you. I was never sure

For hobbies pertaining to Celtic culture/pride: I craft leather & am learning to do Celtic knotwork. I’m also a traditional archer (wood or wood with laminate bows only + wood arrows)- made my quiver & make my own arrows and bowstrings. And I proudly own 2 Welsh Pembroke Tricolor Corgis with undocked tails. One LOVEs to jump in selfies of me wearing kilts. lol.

I believe Greenock was the submarine base and Edzel was a radar base farther north. Another fun show. David

The Discovery - Museum Ship docked in Dundee. Glenlee (the tall ship) - Museum Ship docked on the Clyde. Cutty Sark - Museum Ship docked on the Thames. The Vulcan - first all iron-hulled boat to be built 1819, Replica sits at Summerlee Museum in Coatbridge. Royal Yacht Britannia - Museum Ship docked on the Leith. HMS Unicorn - Museum Ship also docked in Dundee. PS Waverley - The last seagoing paddle steamer in the world. add to that tonnes of Navy ships & boats over the years.

Try RNLI which are iconic. Also trawlers which were cultural important and where recently celebrated for their role during D Day. Paddle Steamer Waverley is what first comes to mind for me though.

The immigrant ship HECTOR which bought the first significant Scottish immigration to Nova Scotia (New Scotland) in 1773 during the Highland Clearances.. A replica has been built.

Rocky, how did you lose all the weight? You've probably already talked about it, but I'm very impressed!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Then there's the Great Michael, which was James IV's flagship. She was held one large gun and 4 smaller ones and was the same size as the HMS Victory. Unfortunately she was docked in France during the War of the League of Cambrai. Maybe she could have done some damage to the English if she had been used in combat!
