PEGGY

The Peggy, a wooden sailing vessel lost in 1774, lies shallow on the Scottish East Coast. While the hull has largely succumbed to time and tides, what remains offers a fascinating glimpse into maritime history. You're mostly looking at scattered timbers, but it's the context that makes it cool: this was a "dangerous wreck" even back then, famously worked by diver Charles Spalding with his diving bell. It's a great spot for newer divers, or anyone who appreciates the history, and the shallow depth means long bottom times. Crabs scuttling between the old planks and small fish darting through the wreckage are your companions here.
