Day Away on Scottish Ferries

Wullie Davidson’s Bus Pass Ramblings With news accounts of day trippers to England’s south coast beaches being packed like sardines into trains, and the story of the Millport ferry turning turtle due to the sheer weight of passengers (maybe some exaggeration there), I was beginning to feel left out.
