*PART 2/2* MV Hebridean Isles last day ever on Arran route

[@johnnierainey5761]

Poignant cinematography and haunting music...a fitting epitaph for the "old girl", Dave. Well done, and wipe that grit from your eye!

[@davetheraverovingtherock]

Very kind, thank you. I worked hard at this one. Appreciated

[@nixmoretta5455]

May the old girl sail free in the oceans of heaven.

[@garrymccloskey5378]

May I ask which track of music plays at 3 min 17secs I know its Beluga Lagoon but trying to find the track. Many thanks . Great Video

Goodbyes are the hardest thing in the world to cope with ❤

[@margaretsmallallan28]

Peggy MacEachern , my thoughts are with you today! ...Tich.

[@davycrockett36]

In the good old days, you could also get a ferry to Belfast from Ardrossan.😲 Great video.👍

One of my relations was Captain on The Lion.

The last day is always a sad day for anything

[@malcolmanderson-sm7zf]

Well done Dave, a fitting tribute to a great ferry shame I never got to sail on her.

[@davetheraverovingtherock]

@@malcolmanderson-sm7zf Thanks. Yes I was lucky, she came to Arran just for a few days and I had a day off. Very nice inside, really good actually, she belied her age well.

[@malcolmanderson-sm7zf]

Hi Dave, images of Arran on face book have a photo of me and my mate just after we lifted the wheelhouse onto her, nice to hear she has worn well

[@standrewpics]

Due back on the Clyde for last time tomorrow 18th November, due at King George V dock 1030. Due to pass kempock point Greenock 0930 . Then I guess she will sail to Turkey .

[@AlVlogs1603]

One of these days Dave they will hopefully for the people on the island get this ferry fiasco sorted.Not holding my breath

[@Annakucat]

What is the music Dave? It’s so beautiful. Feeling sad.

[@davetheraverovingtherock]

it's Beluga Lagoon. A Scottish band. I love their music too.

[@Annakucat]

@ I’ve just been listening to them on KZbin, thanks for the link. And for the videos.

[@davetheraverovingtherock]

@@Annakucat They did a series of programmes for BBC Scotland too. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0010f1m/roaming-in-the-wild-series-2-3-northern-lights-no-more

[@garrymccloskey5378]

Sad to sear her leave for the last time. Spent so many times on her , emotional to say the least . 🥲Thanks for the video

[@HappyCroissant-vw1kn]

Is the Caledonian isles coming back soon ❤

[@Paws4thot]

LOL

[@davetheraverovingtherock]

Not till March is the latest estimate.. We have both Alfred and Isle of Arran though.

[@emmajanegordon536]

Hi Dave, very good (and emotional video). MV Hebridean Isles was and probably still is a very much loved ship. She will be missed. Do you know if the crew will have a bit of her to remember her and if the shipyard where she was built will get a bit of her. She could have been saved and kept as a floating hotel, restaurant for the people of the Hebrides. Where is she going to be scrapped. RIP MV Hebridean Isles 😞

[@davetheraverovingtherock]

I believe she's being broken up for parts firstly. I don't know if parts can be kept, i hope so

[@paulheenan9098]

She's laid up at the King George V Dock in Glasgow where she'll be cannibalised as a source of much needed spare parts that will keep the obsolete machinery on fleetmates such as Isle of Arran and Isle of Mull running until its their turn to go. There's been no confirmation on where she'll go for scrap once that's done, but it could be absolutely anywhere. (Jupiter, for example, was towed all the way to Denmark back in 2011)

[@CharmaineP-zq5xl]

Oh no this is sad. But why? 😢

[@davetheraverovingtherock]

It's just too old. It has done well to last for nearly 40 years but needs too much money sent on it now, sadly.

[@CharmaineP-zq5xl]

Okay understand. Thanks for clarifying. I have a question please if I may . Its got nothing to do with this. Can I ask you here on this platform. ? ❤

[@davetheraverovingtherock]

@@CharmaineP-zq5xl Yes and I am on facebook as wel

[@CharmaineP-zq5xl]

Thanks Dave. Sorry to bug you. Do you perhaps have contact details for the herbal doctor on Arran. Much appreciated. 🙏

[@davetheraverovingtherock]

@@CharmaineP-zq5xl I don't know a herbal doctor myself sadly. If I was wanting to find out, I would go on Facebook, look up 'Arran Community Forum' and then ask the question there to the whole island.
