As the PS Waverley tied up at the Railway Pier, Kyle on June 2 2016 there was a nowadays very rare opportunity to take the few steps between platform end and ship’s gangway. She has here just returned from a cruise advertised as being or Portree and Gairloch, but which got slightly 'blown off course’, turning back at Raasay for Eigg and Rum. With the added drama of an impromptu Coastguard Helicopter exercise off Rum, winching a man down onto the deck!
