Tour Scotland Video Fair Maid Boat Plough Dredging Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of the Fair Maid boat plough dredging by the harbour on the River Tay in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Dredging is an excavation activity usually carried out underwater, in shallow seas or freshwater areas with the purpose of gathering up bottom sediments and disposing of them at a different location. This technique is often used to keep waterways navigable. The boat is a truly multi purpose vessel equipped to tow, push, plough dredge, carry out pilotage duties, survey work and fulfil general harbour maintenance roles.
