MV Hebridean Isles is due to carry passengers again this weekend for the first time in eight months.

A CalMac ferry that has been out of action for eight months could be carrying passengers again this weekend.

The ship missed the summer season laid up in Troon, Ayr, Greenock and Birkenhead for repairs - but problems with its variable pitch propellers persisted.In late August, the ship arrived in Aberdeen for another attempt at fixing the problems in dry dock by Dales Marine Services. CalMac is facing an extremely difficult period as it struggles to keep its ageing vessels in service while awaiting the arrival of new ferries.
