The wrecks that have been littering the harbour and causing an obstruction to other yachts being able to properly use the harbour facilities have at last been moved.

On Saturday afternoon (23 July) the owner was seen to move the last two of his hulks from Bo'ness harbour.

It had been reported that one of these boats had been moved earlier in the week and moored on the outer east harbour wall.

Falkirk Council, owners and harbour authority for Bo'ness Harbour have for some time been attempting to legally remove them from the harbour as they were both an eyesore and danger to other harbour users.

Whether their recent removal is the successful outcome of these attempts or the owner, at last, seeing sense and moving them under his own 'steam' will no doubt be revealed in due course.

Whatever the reason it is still good news!
