1) -James Watt dock are Calmac ferries "Loch Nevis" and "Caledonian Isles", the former is the 'Small Isles' ferry from Mallaig for annual service, the latter still waiting to return to Arran service after months of ongoing fault fixing......behind the Dales Marine buildings in dry dock is an old favourite "Isle of Arran" being serviced, she's now over 40 years old Clyde built and more reliable than many of the newer ferries
2) - "Laika" which looks to be a river cruiser flying Scottish and Dutch flags
