Service
MV Corran has operated the Corran Ferry, across Loch Linnhe since late 2001. She was built for this route, between Ardgour and Corran, allowing Rosehaugh to be retired after 32 years in service on various routes across the Highlands. Backup is provided by MV Maid of Glencoul. Planning for Corran's successor started in 2020.[4]
