- This legendary haulage company started in the 1890s with a horse & cart to transport freshly caught herring from the Fraserburgh harbour in the North East of Scotl&. When motorised transport became the norm, fish continued to be a major part of their work. Over their long history, Gibbs operated a wide variety of vehicles from Bedfords & Albions to AECs & Leylands. When they began to specialise in temperature-controlled transport, they favoured Atkinson rigids & then artics. Later ERF’s became the dominant marque before DAF made their presence felt, initially with the 2800 & 3300 models & then with their 95 range. In the 1990s, a number of Scania 113 Streamlines were operated, one of which was N695 USO with the fleet name ‘ Spirit of Scotland’.
