Spoot ebb?

30th.March,2010. Spoot Ebb at Scapa? I'm led to believe that the beach was fished out quite a few years ago. On the opposite side of the bay, ,below Dyke End and Lingro, there were people gathering whelks on a big area of rocks and red ware. Added by Phil Brough.

Comments:
At the other end o the beach, I mind on catching huge spoots,and plenty o them, but because o what flowed oot o the ratty burn, nobody would eat them! That was about 25 years ago. I don't remember hearing about anyone else going there to get spoots.
