After spending the afternoon cruising around Raasay, Waverley approaches Kyle pier as the voyage draws to a close. The trip had started from Broadford at 09:00 and had called there on the return leg from Raasay. The next day's voyage was to start from Kyle, hence the different route on the way home. This is a rare example of my wife's camera work. I couldn't get this shot, as I was propping up a deck-rail aboard the vessel, so Martha gets the credit for this one.

Built in 2008 and registered in Leith, Edinburgh, the 1459t anchor-handling supply ship, "MV Kingdom of Fife" is the flagship of Briggs Marine, based in Fife on the east coast of Scotland. 61.2m long, the vessel is powered by two big Caterpillar C286-6 diesels and is seen here leaving Kyle pier, with Skye as the backdrop.
