Ship No 522


The motor vessel CLAYMORE was an order from Caledonian Macbrayne for a Passenger Vehicle Ferry.


She was to operate from the Scottish mainland to the many out lying Scottish Islands, and she was another ship that was to become a firm favourite of many passengers.

She was launched from the Leith Shipyards of Robb Caledon on 31st August 1978
