How strange: I could swear Dan's post wasn't there when I posted mine, yet I can't see how it took me so long to reply. And then we took the same train to the same place...spooky

We fancy a trip on a boat, an urge we satisfy by walking 0.2mi to the ferry terminal and realising we just missed a ferry. We waste 25 minutes in the local pub before heading back to the terminal and boarding the 1330 ferry to Nigg, arriving at 1340 Friday afternoon.

Sorry to be the harbinger of bad tidings, but there is a note on that ferry timetable to say that on 30th September 2015, it ceased running for the winter period.
