A baby has been born on a CalMac ferry crossing, leaving passengers and the crew stunned. The little girl was born on the MV Argyle ship during the 7.15am crossing from Rothesay to Wemyss Bay on Wednesday, April 26.
The expectant mum was en route from the Isle of Bute to Ayrshire to give birth, but the little one arrived before she could get to the hospital. It is understood the baby was born in an ambulance on the car deck during the short trip across the Firth of Clyde.
The crew sent their "warmest wishes and congratulations" to the parents as the captain hailed the ferry firm's "youngest ever passenger". Captain Lee McDowell, who was the Master on board on Wednesday morning, said: “We are delighted at the news of a very special delivery on board MV Argyle in Wemyss Bay this morning – a baby girl!
