Pentland Ferries
Pentland Ferries is a privately owned, family company which has operated a ferry service between Gills Bay in Caithness, Scotland and St Margaret's Hope on South Ronaldsay in Orkney since May 2001. The company is one of only two major vehicle ferry operators plying within Scotland which are not subsidised by the Scottish Government or local authorities.
==History==
Pentland Ferries was founded by its present managing director, Andrew Banks, in 1997. In October that year he purchased the Caledonian MacBrayne passenger and vehicle ferry ''Iona''. Banks obtained a 99-year lease on the Gills Bay terminal, about 3 miles west of John o' Groats. After two years work improving the site, and further work at St Margaret's Hope, he started operating the short sea crossing with ''Pentalina B'' in May 2001. The service was summer only in its first few seasons, but is now operated year round with the custom built passenger and vehicle catamaran ''Pentalina''.
An earlier attempt to operate the short sea crossing between Caithness and Orkney had been abandoned in 1989, mainly because of the exposed conditions at Gills Bay.
