Born in 1946 and brought up in Cupar, Fife, I was educated at the local school - 
Banffshire and Buchan Coast MSP Stewart Stevenson has commended the work of staff at the Macduff Shipyard.
It comes after they were approached by client Scottish Sea Farms and asked to create a new way to remove algae from its fish pen nets.
The product designed by the shipyard was found to be more effective at removing build-up of algae.
Now six more units have been ordered worth more than £500,000.
Commenting, Stewart Stevenson said:
“This is brilliant news for Macduff Shipyards. They have worked hard alongside their long-standing client to develop this technology which will help enhance both the health and welfare of salmon within pens.
“Working with communities is hugely important and this will create a real boost for the local area.
“It is clear the work has been somewhat of a game-changer and we hope this is only the beginning.”
