GRAN

The Gran, a Norwegian steamship sunk by a mine in 1917, offers a really accessible wreck dive for this part of Scotland. Lying at 14 metres, it's a good choice for divers looking for a less demanding experience than some of the deeper North Sea wrecks. We generally find the remains spread across the seabed, but the boiler is usually a prominent feature, often covered in dead man's fingers and anemones. You'll often see squat lobsters tucked into the nooks and crannies, and cod can be surprisingly bold here. It’s not an intact behemoth, but it’s a tangible piece of history that’s become a home for local marine life.
