This 1973 view shows MV Clansman lying at Stornoway beside the MacBraynes terminal, with people gathered on the pier and the ferry’s bow access visible at the linkspan. The white terminal building with its bold MacBraynes lettering is a strong period detail in its own right, while the ship captures an important moment in Hebridean ferry history. Clansman had been built in 1964 by Hall, Russell of Aberdeen as one of David MacBrayne’s car ferries, and after rebuilding in 1972–73 she took up work on the Ullapool to Stornoway route during the year this photograph was taken. For a short period she was therefore one of the principal vessels on the Lewis crossing, before being replaced on the main service by the newer Suilven in 1974.
