This is NOT set in stone, but I do know a number of people outside of this forum who have deferred their bookings until later in the year, so thought it might be advisable to post on here as well.
Our existing lifeline timetable is in place till 14th June and will be updated as and when the SG say so – it’s not in locals’ hands!!

We had to cancel crossings to Orkney in April with Northlink Ferries and Orkney ferries. We had hoped to visit my sister in law who lives on one of the outer islands. Like Calmac they have an essential services only timetable in place up for review again on 14th June - i suspect this will be extended so a visit there at present is very much up in the air :(

Fiona, we can go to the mainland if essential - that's always been allowed - it's folks who aren't residents or key workers that aren't allowed and that's being imposed on the smaller, open ferries like Lochaline and Kilchoan as well. We still have the 5 miles and essential but, with public transport, where it is available, decimated, regular volunteers are allowed a bit further.
Western Ferries aren't run by Transport Scotland and don't get lifeline subsidies (I think); they also have a much greater throughput because of the location and base travelling population.

When restrictions are lifted I think Scotland will be rammed with English tourists who have put off going to Europe this year.
I fear the west of Scotland and the NC500 will be chocker block with vehicles and pople in search of campsites and other accommodation.

I’m posting the link to Calmac’s response to the Rural Economies and Connectivity Committee as it’s an update with implications for the opening up of Calmac Ferries and, whilst not set in stone, may be of help to those of you planning any trips to the islands once the current limitations are relaxed. I suggest you start reading on page 2, item 4.

Calmac will be issuing a new timetable effective 1st July towards the middle of next week. There will be some increased capacity but there will be priorities put in place. Foot passengers (at least as far as Mull's concerned) will need to book and some currently non-bookable services will go to booking.
