How these captains move these massive ships into tiny spaces is mind boggling! And the Isle of Aran, one of Calmac's 4 elderly ladies does herself proud and is still able to fit in wherever she is sent!
Was on the MV Isle of Cumbrae on her original Largs - Cumbrae Slip route 3 weeks ago covering the Loch Shira while she was having her overhaul for a few days until MV Catriona was available
Fantastic vid !! fantastic ship and fantastic place !
One of my favourite ferries and still going strong after almost 40 years of service. She was very busy when I went over to Arran at Easter.

Absolutely a great deal of skill involved in it!
I take it the newer, bigger pier has been built in anticipation of the Glen Sannox entering service.
Yes

Very good, on that note watch this space…
Why can't Calmac adopt to ship-locking linkspans? The fifties wanted thier mooring lines back
It has an extended exhaust on the one side? (20:40)
Once Glen Sannox comes into service I can envisage Isle of Arran becoming second vessel on the Uig triangle.
Eh no
