Mindful of the 15-minute minimum connection time that applies at this major railway station, we next board the 2105 ScotRail service to Gourock that arrives there at 2157 on Saturday evening.
We then walk to the outside ferry terminal to board the 2240 Caledonian MacBrayne CM1 to Dunoon Ferry Terminal, arriving at 2305 on Saturday.
Tip: If you want to stay in the Highlands for Mondays, just reboard 489s to each ferry terminal then 901s on the other side.

Well, I'm not quite sure what to do here as there are no buses for the remainder of the day, so I guess we'll just have to return on the 2310 Caledonian MacBrayne service CM1 to Gourock, arriving there at 2335 on Saturday evening?

The only public transport on Iona is this ferry. Therefore, we make a brief pilgrimage to Iona Abbey while awaiting the next available ferry (as there is a 10 minute minimum check in, we are unable to depart on the 1515 departure). We then board CalMac service CM13 at 1545, arriving back at Fionnphort Ferry Terminal at 1555 on Sunday.
