Island Crossings

A CalMac deckhand takes to beekeeping, the ferry to Arran berths in bad weather, CalMac managers face frustrated islanders, and a whisky is launched on Harris.

The MV Hebridean Isles undergoes major repairs to keep her in service, Tiree ranger Hayley rescues a seal pup, and a young gardener commutes to work on Gigha by ferry.

In Port Glasgow, the MV Glen Sannox is under construction at Ferguson’s shipyard, and Calmac teams prepare for launch in 2024. Meanwhile, on Colonsay, the island’s only GP makes his rounds.
