Lord of the Isles - Ferry


The Calmac ferry 'Lord of the Isles' came out of dry dock late this afternoon.

Although the tug 'Battler' was on hand, she came out of the Garvel dry dock, canted, and then reversed in to the James Watt Dock under her own power.

There was quite a stiff wind too, so it was good to watch her manoeuvre her way in to the dock with no mishaps.
