A pocket watch that was once owned by the Scottish captain of the Cutty Sark is currently on show to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his death.
Built on the River Leven in Dumbarton in 1869, the legendary ship originally sailed between the UK and China to transport tea. Among one of the fastest ships in the world at the time, it spent only a few years in the tea trade before transporting wool between Sydney and London.
A silver pocket watch that belonged to Cutty Sark captain George Moodie is now being exhibited in Kirkcaldy, Fife, where the Scot's career began. Alongside the timepiece at Kirkcaldy Galleries is a 1979 colour screen print by Ivan Polley and a model of the tea clipper made by William Thomson of Kirkcaldy in the 1960s.
