MV ''Sound of Islay'' was the first ro-ro ferry on the west coast of Scotland. Built for Western Ferries in 1968, she served Islay and later Campbeltown – Red Bay (Northern Ireland). In 1981, she was sold to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and still operates in eastern Canada. ==History== In the late 1960s, the private company, Western Ferries, commissioned ''Sound of Islay'' from Ferguson Brothers of Port Glasgow. She was to be the first ro-ro ferry on the west coast of Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=MV Sound of Islay )〕 Designed to carry 20 cars or a combination of cars and commercial vehicles on the Islay run from Kennacraig, West Loch Tarbert, she proved so popular that the state-owned MacBrayne's upgraded their own services to ro-ro. Western Ferries purchased a larger ferry, the Norwegian-built , but were unable to compete with the subsidised service and started to lose traffic. In September 1981, ''Sound of Islay'' was sold to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.〔 Between May 2007 and January 2008, she underwent an extensive refit in Clarenville.
