I am sure it was Lord of the Isles or Clansman last time I took that trip not a little ferry like that

The big ferries were bought by a Texican who told a wee local Scotsman that back in Texas, everything was big. It took him nearly four days to drive all the way round his ranch. The wee Scotsman replied that he used to have a car like that but he got rid of it.

@pixelrush Texican? LMFAO! Sorry but that's just funny, I don't care who you are.

[pixelrush]

@IMSaura I refer yer guid self to John Wayne in the classic movie The Searchers by John Ford - we be Texicans :)

[IMSaura]

@pixelrush Great quote!  But your modern Texan couldn't be a Texican since Texas hasn't been a part of Mexico for hundreds of years. And then there's the Texican of modern vernacular which generally means (in these parts, at least) a Mexican trying to pretend s/he's here legally. Just struck me as very cute and unexpected in your story! :O)

And great video, I'm looking forward to seeing it all for myself in the autumn!

Yes, it used to be Lord of the Isles, but this ship replaced it in 2006(ish).

That's quite a big ferry for a small island.
