As an Arran resident, I’m well aware that the ferry is late, and way over budget. There are few public capital outlays that are not. We’re just pleased to have our new boat. stvnews@bluesky and heraldscotland@bsky will have to find some other way of talking down Scotland.

Get out of that corrupt "union" and join us in the EU. We need progressive, positive, reliable, generous, open-minded countries like Scotland.
