A Scots seafood firm has been fined £80,000 after a fisherman drowned when his leg was caught in a rope and he was pulled overboard.
Bosses at Scrabster Seafoods Limited pled guilty to health and safety breaches at Tain Sheriff Court earlier today, Wednesday, June 7.
The court heard that if the Thurso-based company had updated its risk assessment and put proper safety procedures in place, Mark Elder may possibly still be alive today.
