The Skylark IX, a little ship that saved the lives of hundreds of soldiers during the evacuation of Dunkirk, only to be left to ruin before being rescued herself, has become an inspiring symbol of recovery and resilience.
Now a project run by the trust in charge of this transformation has been credited with helping recovering addicts rebuild their lives.
The Skylark IX Recovery Project and Dumbarton -based rehabilitation charity Alternatives have been working together to build a St Ayles’ skiff rowing boat, which was launched on Loch Lomond last week.
