Diving a Scottish wreck is always an adventure, and the *Margaret And Catherine* off the East Coast delivers that bracing North Sea charm in spades. We love how the wreck, despite its age, still holds a strong, distinct form. You’ll find yourself finning through schools of juvenile pollack that dart between the frames, and every now and then, a grumpy-looking conger eel will peek out from a dark corner, reminding you who truly owns this metal skeleton now. It’s a dive that rewards careful exploration, feeling less like a pile of debris and more like a submerged time capsule. This site really suits divers who appreciate a wreck with a story, happy to spend time exploring rather than racing through. We always make sure to bring a good torch, not just for peering into the gloom, but to pick out the vibrant anemones and soft corals that add splashes of colour to the rust.
