DUNCANSBY HEAD: Two jagged pinnacles - the dreadful Stacks of Duncansby - rear 200ft. above the boiling waves.  And in their shadow lies the broken hulk of the trawler George Robb.  Still the vicious wind slashes in at 60 m.p.h. - and on the right, a freshwater stream running down the cliff is whipped back 500 yards by the strength of the gale.  Not a drop of water reaches the shore....this was how it was when 12 men died.
