MV Claymore at Castlebay The Caledonian MacBrayne car ferry arrives at Castlebay pier on a still misty Wednesday evening at the end of her 5-hour passage from Oban.  In the 1980s she maintained the triangular route between Lochboisdale, Barra and the mainland, but Uist, being the larger and more populous island, enjoyed many more direct sailings.  The next return sailing on this route will not be until Saturday.

Claymore perpetuated the name of the last of the classic MacBrayne steamers built in 1955 - see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2341322">NM6797 : SS Claymore at Mallaig bound for Stornoway</a>.  After withdrawal from the CalMac fleet Claymore, in a new livery and by then looking rather dated with her awkward side-loading ramps, saw service on the short-lived Kintyre-Antrim route <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2177551">D1241 : The Campbeltown ferry, Ballycastle</a> and later on the short Pentland Firth crossing from John o' Groats to St Margaret's Hope <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/488872">ND4093 : The Bu, Hoxa Head</a>.  She was finally sold to the Danes who renamed her Sia and use her as a cable-laying and supply ship.
