MV Isle of Arran, Ardrossan-Brodick. 19/2/12

Caledonian MacBrayne's MV Isle of Arran (1984) is seen operating the Ardrossan-Brodick route on the 19th February 2012, relieving for the usual MV Caledonian Isles (1993) which was being repaired in JWD after hitting the pier at Ardrossan. Isle of Arran was built for the Ardrossan-Brodick service, however was replaced just 9 years later due to growth in demand. She was sent to the Kennacraig-Islay service before being replaced by the displaced MV Hebridean Isles (1986) in 2001 and following a few years spare was introduced as the 2nd Islay boat in 2003. In 2011 she was replaced by the brand new MV Finlaggan and made spare, spending any time not doing duties laid up at Cambeltown or Rosneath.

She has also been seen in service at Lewis, Harris, S.Uist, Barra, Tiree, Coll, Mull, Colonsay and Islay, as well as conducting trails at Dunoon, and operating out of Wemyss Bay on disrupted services to Arran whilst relieving.
