Top secret!
We've got a mission for you in
Portsoy & Cullen
A top secret agent from a foreign spy network, Sven Doublo, has been sent to the north east of Scotland with the mission to destroy the fishing industry. His plan is to activate an underwater device off the coast of Portsoy and Cullen, causing all the fish in the area to swim backwards and head off to the North Sea, emptying the Moray Firth of sea-life! But Spy HQ has uncovered a series of clues that may reveal the deactivation code for the device. Your mission, agents, is to solve these clues and stop this evil deed before it's too late. Good luck out there!
