SOUND OF SCARBA

Launched exactly eight years ago today, Western Ferries' SOUND OF SCARBA represented the start of a programme of major investment by the company which spanned a five year period. Built at a reported cost of around £2.5 million, SOUND OF SCARBA was joined two years later by a sister vessel, both built locally at Ferguson's shipyard at Port Glasgow. The same shipyard later completed two new linkspans for the company.
