One type of tradtional wooden fishing vessel is a ‘Sgoth’ or ‘Sgoth Niseach’ – a traditional type of clinker-built skiff with a dipping lug rig and a Lateen style sail, built mainly in Ness in the Western Isles of Scotland. These boats were used for line fishing during the 19th century but as this industry died out in the Western Isles, the number of Sgoths being built reduced. In 1935 ‘Jubilee,’ built by the late John Finlay Macleod, was launched and is the last original working ‘Sgoth.’ (Falamadair, 2025). Mark Stockl is a traditional boat builder based in Ullapool and has worked extensively with Falamadair _ The North Lewis Maritime Trust, in the restoration of Sgoths for which they are the guardians. He has also built replica Sgoths for private clients (see AAS_AR_06) and restored other Ness built clinkers (see AAS_AR_10). The full process of designing and building a traditional wooden ‘clinker’ boat is described in AAS_PR_002. The Cultural practice documented in this input focuses on the method of ‘Copper Roving’ (fixing the copper rivets through the planks to hold them in place) during the repair of AAS_AR_10. This artefact was in Mark’s workshop on the day of the interview. [[Category:Object]]
