    What wonderful weather you had for this trip. I've spent a good bit of time in those areas, with a few visits to Staffa as well. May can be perplexing to Southerners a little more used to mono-weather cultures. What a wonderful treasure the wee Waverly is, and truly being able to share that with this generation is priceless. But the view of the coastlines brings a pang of heaveyness to my heart SO clearly a time to visit Mull again. Wonderfull Video Production Mr. Sheach, Thank you!

    This brought back many memories for me,it's years since I was on the Waverly and the last time it had departed from Campbeltown then down to the Mull of Kintyre, all in all very interesting,thanks for the memories.😊

    Excellent video. It is great to see all the beautiful countryside and all the other shipping as well.
    Do you know if that is that the National Flagship 2024 pennants that are flying near the front?

    By the way why is that fucking union acknowledging flag flying off her mainstay

      Err, maybe because it is a UK Registered vessel - the UK being a Category A member of the IMO?
      The Royal Scots Navy (RSN) ceased to exist on the signing of the Union
      The saltire can be flown as a pennant on the bow staff - which is the case on the Waverley, but a defaced red ensign can only be flown as follows:
      Section 3(b) of the UK Merchant Shipping Act 1995 allows the use of both the Red Ensign flag or a version of it defaced with the appropriate national colour, on vessels registered with a Crown Dependency or UK Overseas Territory provided they have either a Royal Warrant or an Order in Council:

      Personally, I'd much prefer her to proudly show her own national identity by flying the pre-1707 Scottish Naval ensign which is similar to the Red Duster but with the Saltire replacing the Butcher's Apron. Pleasingly, an increasing number of Scottish vessel owners are now doing so.
