Caledonian MacBrayne's MV Loch Seaforth slows down as she arrives at Stornoway Harbour, Isle of Lewis having crossed the 'Minch' from Ullapool, Mainland

MV Loch Seaforth was built in 2014 by Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft MBH and Co KG, Flensburg, Germany and she was built for the route. She replaced the MV Isle of Lewis who had been serving the route since 1995. MV Loch Seaforth can carry 143 cars (20 more than the previous vessel) and 670 passengers. She can also operate 24 hours a day allowing only 1 vessel on the route rather than a separate freight vessel.

Also notice the sheep grazing on the spring grass.
