Reaching her 60th Year in 2024

Former MacBrayne car ferry (RMS) Columba (as the ship also carried Royal Mail to the islands) is now a top-notch fine looking Cruise Ship that enjoys Royal Patronage in the form of the late HM The Queen , who spent £125,000-a-time to lease this vessel for private family cruising around the Western Isles in the summer months. Here we see her alongside in James Watt Docks in Greenock #ships
