A while back I got a request via our flickr pages to use an image from the Dan McDonald collection. The request came from Danny at Queensferry Passage website. This website features lots of interesting information and images about the four ferries who worked the route.
The image in questions was of the Robert the Bruce ferry, which I've featured on this blog before and it now appears in this gallery.
Thanks to Danny for finding us and the nice credit to Dan McDonald and the Ballast Trust.
