THE WALES DIARIES ♚
2 NOVEMBER 2023 || SCOTLAND VISIT (1/3) - OUTFIT MORAY
The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay visited Scotland to meet organisations supporting rural communities and those working provide mental health support to young people through access to the outdoors and practical learning.
For their first engagement of the day, Will and Cat visited Outfit Moray which delivers outdoor learning programmes to young people. The aim of the work is to encourage the generation to get outside and to help them develop life skills and improve their mental and physical health in doing so.
The charity helps children aged between eight and 18 who are vulnerable or from disadvantaged backgrounds. Some of the activities provided by them to the young people include mountain biking, paddlesports, rock climbing, archery and bushcraft. The charity also runs a number of programmes in local schools such as cycle training, bike maintenance and first aid programmes.
During their visit William and Catherine also joined in a mountain biking session through an obstacle course and spent time with the pupils from Burghead Primary School. They also witnessed the kids take part in a bike race themselves which was flagged off by Catherine.

December 15th 1977 saw the fishing vessel Rosebud II flounder off the Isle of Mull with the loss of seven lives.
It was a heavy loss for Burghead to bear – and lives on still in the village's collective consciousness.
The men were skipper Alexander Davidson (28), Brian Peterkin (23), David Robertson (19), John Crawford (35), Robert McKenzie (23), and brothers Sandy McKenzie (32) and Billy McKenzie (30).
The sinking triggered one of the biggest air and sea rescue operations ever mounted in the Hebrides.
A Mayday signal had been intercepted by a Birmingham radio ham on the night and sparked off one of the biggest air/sea rescue operations ever to have been mounted in the Hebrides, an operation which has ended in stark tragedy with the loss of the Burghead fishing boat.
A call at 8.30 on Monday night from Oban radio brought out the Islay lifeboat in answer to the Mayday call which came from the area of the treacherous Torran Rocks off the Ross of Mull where the boat had grounded in a heavy south west wind, and the crew had taken to the life rafts.
All ships in the area were immediately alerted, and within minutes, fishing boats in the vicinity headed for the scene to search in vain in the darkness. Fishing boats alongside Oban’s Railway Pier cast off and steamed towards the Torrans while a Shackleton aircraft circled the area. In the early light of dawn a liferaft was spotted near Erraid, but this was found later to be deflated, and not from the stricken ship. At 08.46, the fishing boat Reliant came upon wreckage drifting half a mile west south west of Eilean a Chalmain. This was identified as being part of the Rosebud II. A few minutes earlier, an RAF helicopter from 202 air/sea rescue squadron took off from Leuchars to join the hunt for the missing crew.
7 fishing vessels were now combing the area, as well as the Islay lifeboat. At around 10.00am, however, the first tragic find was made when skipper Dan Ralph’s crew of the Burghead vessel Accord, found a crewman’s body floating off Eilean a Chalmain. The victim was later identified as 32 year old Sandy Mackenzie of Burghead, whose brother Billy, also from Burghead, was still among the missing. A second body was found a few miles north of the scene off the Dutchman’s Cap in the Treshnish Isles.
A marble open book, inscribed with the names of the crewmen, an image of the Rosebud II and an anchor, can be found at the head of the harbour, Burghead.
