Are you thinking of "Mischief", a replica pilot cutter, seen here on the right of the anchorage.

Ah, that explains where I saw Mischief around 2009, Oban makes sense.
Pretty certain it was Mischief next to us in the yard at Vigo around April 2013. I helped out with a couple of minor jobs and had a look around inside. Loved the "pineapple" deck light. No so keen on having to pump out the sink as it was fitted below the waterline. I remembered seeing a similar boat previously but the only crew on board didn't know if she'd been to Scotland.
I'd forgotten all about her until I saw this thread.

Sign of a good seaworthy hull, that
. In the water rather than on it.We had a similar arrangement on Kindred Spirit.
Having read the Tilman books, I'm not sure whether the original had anything as luxurious as a galley sink

Yes, solid boat. However, I seem to remember trying to flush water tanks via the sink. I don't think access to inspection hatch was easy on one tank (port side?) and problem with a valve prevented connection to other tank. We ended up using the water pump to fill the sink and then hand pumped the sink to empty it overboard. I think that's why I remember the sink sitting below the waterline.
Much easier once the second tank opened and valve fixed. Fill both tanks, jam hose into inspection hatch on one tank and turn water on for a minute to prime. Just a matter of disconnecting the hose at the tap and having a beer while it syphoned out both tanks. Repeated until tanks clear or beer ran out.

I think you might ask Minn what it's like to sail with Tilman
