Created in 1973 with the amalgamation of the Caledonian Steam Packet Co. and David MacBrayne, Cal-Mac's black hulls and white toppings have been a common sight on the Clyde estuary, the Western Isles and on numerous short crossings in the Western Highlands. Starting with much old tonnage, the fleet has been updated over the past decade and now comprises some very modern shipping, still sailing to the Western Isles and to Arran, Bute and Cumbrae. |
