A ferry that serves one of Mull's three routes has not been able to return to service following a routine refit.

The MV Isle of Mull had originally been due back on the Oban to Craignure route just after Christmas.

But its time in dry dock in Aberdeen had to be extended to allow for work on an area of rust on its hull.

It then broke down while passing through the Pentland Firth on Tuesday. It was towed to Orkney where CalMac said it is undergoing repairs.
