A special thanks to @CalMacFerries & their staff for doing everything they can lately. It’s been a very pressurised season and their staff have had to put up with a lot of grief over the last while, over circumstances out with their control. We’d certainly be lost without you!

Well.... tonight we stole Auntie Mairi’s Laraidh and went for a tour! Great craic and all for our Key-workers, the emergency services and our wonderful NHS. But, also for the people of Stornoway who need a lift now more than ever. Thanks to our drivers and pals!

Well here it is, our official 2020 Xmas video. It may look like a “press record and go style phone video and hope that Boydie doesn’t say anything too bad” but this took 3 months of blood, sweat and tears.... and beers just to get this exactly how we wanted it.
