Will you be doing any more videos whilst you're in Orkney?

How these Captains manage to move these massive ferries into such small spaces, leaves me speechless, and that in itself is a miracle indeed! (I'm never quiet!). I realise that there are much larger vessels sailing in the oceans, but they are not taking their craft into such small areas, with tragic reefs around the coasts of the Hebrides! I'll miss LOTI when she is no longer in service, but hope that Calmac ensure they have enough vessels to cover in the future! Hebridean Isles just shows what can happen to a firm like Calmac trying to cover routes with fewer vessels, so LOTI being able to cover most routes makes her valuable! .Tich.

Thanks for this great video, l have Greatly enjoyed it also great to see the bows going up and down also the stern ramp going up and down, they have come a long way since they used to use 2 planks for cars coming off the ferrys and going on to the ferrys - Great how things have changed over the years.

I was on her on the Arran run the other day It was great fun to be on her the food on her was fantastic 100%. The only thing I was disappointed in was the gangway at Brodick didn't fit her I love the way the gangway design joined on with the ferry terminal. It's another fantastic video you have taken.

Potential routes for MV Finlaggin could be the Oban-Colonsay & Port Askaig route as that would allow MV Clansman to do extra Oban-Coll and Tiree sailings. She could also be a second vessel for the Mull service running alongside MV Caledonian Isles once the new Arran ferries entered service, or lastly she could be a second vessel on the Ullapool-Stornoway route alongside MV Loch Seaforth. If there's enough demand for more sailings. Great video once again btw 👍

VERY impressive berthing Manoeuvere , i was once on a boat which landed at Coll with what came to be known as the dull thud manoeuvere, not calmac I hasten to add, and the skipper was sober as well

A once potential future in the making since Hebrides was speculated to have been earmarked for transfer to Oban to serve as running mate to Isle of Mull back when Glen Rosa was still her intended replacement. With Caledonian Isles now apparently set to outright replace Isle of Mull next year, I'm wondering if she's now destined for the Barra run since Isle of Lewis is also on the chopping block.

Very weird to see her away from the uig triangle. For a minute when I saw the photo of the Hebrides I was thinking that it was the clansman 😅 great video !

lol down the line a few weeks calay isles comes back to do arran and the day she comes back the next day her and the other boat are way lol

the loch portain is just so special

good music

In my opinion these 2 ferries are the best ferrys on the Clyde there is plenty of room in the sitting area, & many other goodies around the ship, I've been on these 2 ferries quite a lot, - Well done to whoever built them .

Hey CW, I noticed the MV Loch shira returned back to her original route with new ramps. It'll be interesting to see if you make a video on her next time you visit.

Is this not a small boat for this route?

I'm not sure but isn't the MV clansman the sister ferry to the MV hebrides?

Is The Isle of Cumbrae Not a small vessel for doing the Tarbert-Portavarde Route?

I dont think they do this diversion anymore I dont think am I right in saying?

Great to see 2 ferries giving pleasure to hundreds of people throughout the year, - I say well done to these 2 ferries & there captains.

Great video once again!!

Thank you keep it up,live in vancouver but born in scotland used to miillport in summer...good times!

Its strange how it can do Mallaig to armadale with no catering but, when courisk is on it has a cafe open.

17:40 do Pentland Ferries always issue their safety briefs from Transylvania?

How many people actually got off at Castlebay and how many people did they pick up from there? Great video btw

Next time use a tripod or better equipment. No swell but still queasy before half time.

Planing on doing this hopefully in June onboard MV Heabdeen isles, and i am curious on how long was the Journey was from Kennacraig to Oban? Great video btw 😄👍

Ironically 3years later still the same case only ioc is the main this time

Karma im an ex rn stoker applied and some guy who worked for the companies, wee lassie got the job

When I was on Loch Bhrusda other day the crew made it clear that they didn't like the route they where shouting and bawling at cars drivers and I overheard them on there walkie-talkie asking if they could lay her up and the staff that where colleting the tickets said they couldn't because they had a 17 meter campervan coming on there faces where tripling them.

I noticed the Loch riddon changed its safety announcement..?

Never in the history of the company has any Calmac employee ever worked faster than a glacial pace.

Haha the ferry chorus of car alarms, I only did it the once and then after that haven’t bothered locking the vehicle since. There seems to be a lot of people complain about CalMac but I can honestly say every time I have travelled with them they have been great, the staff always seem helpful and the smaller vessels the staff are chatty too which for a geek like me makes the trip.

It has an extended exhaust on the one side? (20:40)

Thank goodness Andrew Banks chartered his ship, the MV Alfred to CMAL/CalMac. This ferry has saved the island of Arran’s economy. Maybe if the owners of CalMac had listened to John Rose (founder of Western Ferries) and chartered the MV Highland Seabird 40+ years ago, we would not be in such a mess). As for vested interest groups that are frightened of MV Alfred and putting about the lie that Pentland Ferries are making millions. The charter INCLUDES FUEL AND CREW COSTS. For those with the hidden agendas, maybe declare this fact next time you try and do down this valiant effort to help Islanders. Just out of interest, does anyone care to hazard a factual assessment of how much the MV Alfred fuel bill is for a full year? Also for fairness, how much fuel (in pound notes) does the MV Caledonian Isles go through each year? Whatever else, a HUGE round of thanks to Andrew Banks (and his brilliant Orcadian crew) at Pentland Ferries for saving the Arran economy. God help the other islands on the West Coast.

Ehi. What was your overall feel of the trip? Would you recommend it? Would you do it again? Weren't you tempted to just put a foot on Tiree, Coll and Barra to say you'd been there? 😂 I'm headed up in April and thinking of doing just this. Thanks for giving me an idea of the journey!

Yes its quiet no vibration, but found it an awfull ferry. Not enough toilets, poxy coffee machine that didnt work. Very cramped passenger lounge

Why can't Calmac adopt to ship-locking linkspans? The fifties wanted thier mooring lines back

Beautiful. My dream is to go on CalMac ferries. I love ships . I’m sadly very sick as I’ve just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, so hopefully I will be able to get my dream sometime. Kästien

Worst meal I've eaten on a ferry, don't know who prepared it. maybe the engineer or someone with no cooking ability or worse than mine, a difficult standard to surpass.

Fantastic video with brill soundtrack

Great video cheers

I find it very strange why there was a picture of Lord of The Isle and Waverley Inside her lounge. Instead of Loch Fyne and Waverley.

Is this Iran? It looks like winter.

Not fan of her and she not compatible for a lot of linkspans and think they would be better off buying a 2nd hand boat with a bow and stern ramp.

Long long boring boring boring boring boring absolutely mind numbingly BORING

32:15 Arrival Announcement

8:05 Arrival Announcement

Is it foreign built? Safety?

Fantastic vid !! fantastic ship and fantastic place !

Rare footage of a Scottish ferry actually working

Pure magic.
