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 NM6797 : SS Claymore at Mallaig bound for Stornoway. 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 D1241 : The Campbeltown ferry, Ballycastle and later on the short Pentland Firth crossing from John o' Groats to St Margaret's Hope ND4093 : The Bu, Hoxa Head. She was finally sold to the Danes who renamed her Sia and use her as a cable-laying and supply ship.

The blue buoys are additional mooring for visiting yachts. But demand these days is more and more for 'step ashore' pontoons.

MV Isle of Lewis, at Castlebay

The MV Isle of Lewis (Eilean Leodhais) is now the main vessel on the route from Oban to Castlebay. It arrived at about 1830, and will return the next morning. It is berthed at the main pier, just beside Kisimul Castle (Caisteal Chiosamuil).
