Anyone know the history of this boat?

does a Google search of the name on the front of the boat not come up with anything? Can't quite make it out, but if it is has any provenance, then Google will be sure to have something on it?

Looks like its called the "Scott" Inverness.

Nothing so far from the net.

Just this from Flickr

I wonder if its the same boat?

If that is the boat that I think it is, I have spent several happy evenings aboard her. When I was a teenager, they used to run "booze cruises" on her from Inverness down the canal from Torvean to Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness and back. Happy nights. PT
