THE FIRST cruise ship to use Fort William’s new pontoons arrived yesterday (Wednesday).
MV Boudicca battled stormy weather overnight to bring more than 800 passengers and 300 crew from Skye where they were docked on Tuesday.
Passengers began to disembark around 8am and were welcomed by members of Fort William Marina and Shoreline company, which is working hard to transform the waterfront. Coaches took some visitors to attractions including Glen Nevis and the Commando Monument while others stayed in town enjoying a day of planned festivities.
