@peterbrown @nr I see plenty of Gaelic in the west, but am concerned that is dropping it. Not a good look for them.

A special mention for the much-derided Islay ferry service - the outward ferry, Finlaggan, was much the nicer boat; a choice of lounge or airline type seating across two decks, but despite a far more basic seating area, the food (remains of haggis-loaded fries pictured above) and service on the return ferry Arran was quite something, and staff on both went above and beyond anything I’ve experienced at an airport or railway station

Urlaubsgrüße aus an der . Heute ist Freitag, unser letzter Tag hier. Darum ist mein heute ein Blick auf die Bay, den Nordpier und das Ferry Terminal. Am liebsten möcht ich garnicht weg.

Four of Camac's ferries are operating beyond their expected life.

@AuldFoggerty aye, well, like it or not, is one area where Scottish Government has utterly messed up. It's really important to investigate why, and how we can do better in future.

But I wouldnae trust BBC Scotland to do an unbiased report on it.

And the first issue isnae the shipyard, in my opinion. It's how the board became so unrepresentative of the population it serves.

Repairs to MV Hebridean Isles, that usually serves the ferry service to Islay, will be delayed by 5 more weeks.
So MV Isle of Arran will remain on the Islay route together with the MV Finlaggan. Ardrossan-Brodick will continue to be served by the MV Caledonian Isles and MV Alfred.
The Campbeltown ferry service will now be cancelled until the 24th of August.

Rain, and very atmospheric.

I wonder if the ferry names should be “Delayed” and “Cancelled”? These seem to be some of the most frequently used terms by CalMac (frontline staff, needless to say, are great).

A mostly smooth 2 1/2 hour sailing later, brought us into the harbour at Stornoway bang on time, at 19:00. And by 19:10 we were in our digs!
