This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place in April and July-August 1985 in and around Fair Isle, Bosies Bank and the Outer Moray Firth on board the MV Gorsethorn. The purpose was to collect data as part of the UK continental shelf survey programme. Sea floor data were collected using echosounder. Sub-bottom seismic profiling data were collected using Airgun; Sparker; Pinger and Deep-tow Boomer. Gravity and Magnetometer data were recorded.These records are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS report WB/89/7R.
