Inverness welcomes Scarlet

Having passed the halfway point and begun the journey south Scarlet has arrived in Inverness. Speaking to Cath earlier she commented on how welcome “We’ve had an incredible welcome into Inverness Marina. Geoff Ashton and Jamie Hogan have really made us feel right at home and have already jumped on board to help us sort out a couple engineering issues. They have also organized Highland Taxis to support us, who are taking us on a tour of Inverness tomorrow, and bending over backwards to help us out whenever we need them (Karen has been taken off to the shops as we speak - all FOC). The RNLI also welcomed us in and escorted us up Inverness Firth, giving all the crew a whizz around in the inshore lifeboat - lots of happy smiling faces!
Thanks to Simon Rowell for the heads up on the weather- I’m really glad we’re in Inverness Firth today and not trapped in Buckie.”

We are very pleased to be joining the Ellen MacArthur Trust on this great adventure and helping the Trust and everyone sailing on Scarlet Oyster to achieve their goals.

At Skandia, our fresh approach to long-term investments is about helping you plan for the best by building solutions around you - solutions that focus on the funds and fund managers you invest in - not the financial products they sit within. It means you have the flexibility to build towards your goals and review your options as your needs change.

We believe in enabling people to take control of their investments; to understand how and where their money is invested. To do this we give you and your financial adviser access to hundreds of leading investment funds and a variety of tax-efficient ways to hold them. Our service includes the tools, services and expert back-up you need to build a portfolio that you control. One that meets your needs and matches your goals.
