SCOT - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The *Scot*, formerly the *Bangarth*, lies broken but substantial off the Scottish East Coast, a casualty from 1917. She’s a big girl, almost 77 metres long, and sits at a depth of 50 metres, which means this is one for the technical divers. What remains is a scatter of metal, revealing her two boilers and the triple expansion engine, now home to some decent-sized cod and conger eels that have made themselves comfortable in the deeper sections. Visibility here can be a bit of a lottery, as it often is in these waters, but on a good day, the scale of the wreck starts to make sense, a real piece of history colonised by the sea.
