Romanticism, rationalism and ferries

September 15, 2020 6:54 AM

Joe Kennedy writes about romantic infrastructure, places and connections between them, with a special eye towards the Caledonian MacBrayne/CalMac ferries that link many coastal and island communities on the west coast of Scotland with the mainland and each other.

If you are overcome with ferry romanticism after reading the article, you may also be interested in:
- the official CalMac fleet page
- the unofficial CalMac fleet page
- by the same people who keep the unofficial fleet list, a YT channel and (sadly defunct) twitter handle with odds and sods related to the ferries.

The Earth belongs unto the Lord
And all that it contains,
Except the Kyles and the Western Isles
For they are all MacBrayne's.
