now that really would be "a bridge to far)

I think the WB - Rothesay service is excellent. It is incredibly frequent now and those of us who remember when it was an hour and a half standard wait for a ferry (meaning 3 hrs if there was a problem) in winter will always be glad of the 45 min service.

Seeing as you are so against a bridge and Rothesay harbour is progressing so well, perhaps the answer to just fill in the gap at Colintraive.

I've always felt there was a gap in Colintraive...
Flying Cat from no tunnel option?
No rejoinder to your comment FC, none at all. I can't cope with Ramadan and you at one and the same time. In any case, did not the tunnel close because things got so hot, it went afire? Life would be so much simpler and so much more boring if one were literal minded.... # Talking about books, while unpacking recently I came across a very nice copy of Orkney by Gunnie Moberg and GMB. Somewhat strange sitting in the boonies of southern Indiana, listening to Boccherini, and enjoying that book, and memories of Orkney all over again. Not any more strange, I guess, than sitting in Blackfriar's College chapel in Oxford during mass service and suddenly hearing the priest elaborate on the lessons one can learn from GMB's life. Life holds many pleasures and nice surprises, not always but often enough.
