Caledonian MacBrayne 1973-2023

In the 50 years since Caledonian MacBrayne was established in 1973, the company has operated passenger, car, and freight ferry services on the Western seaboard of Scotland. Over that period, CalMac has operated ships which were built almost a century apart, ranging from the veteran turbine steamer King George V of 1926 to the new Glen Sannox of 2023, and ranging in size from small passenger vessels to large roll-on/roll-off passenger and vehicle ferries. This book commemorates the half-century of the company. It is a photographic record of CalMac history, its ships, and its important role for the communities that it continues to serve on The Firth of Clyde and in the West Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
