The oldest ferry currently in operation in Scotland, Maid of Glencoul, has been in active service recently.

Maid of Glencoul, built in 1975 for the Kylesku route , has been in use as a relief craft on the Corran route.

She was the first ferry to take commercial vehicles on that route before the Kylesku Bridge was opened in 1984 .

The vessel is now the relief vessel for the Corran route operated by the Highland Council .

The vessel was built at Ardrossan by MacCrindle Shipbuilding Ltd.

The usual route vessel, Corran, is off service and awaiting engine spares at a boat yard at Bute .

Maid of Glencoul was pictured on 18 March 2023 in service by Andrew Wood.
