IT “took an obscene amount of time” for the Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa ferries to be built for CalMac, Transport Secretary Stephen Flynn has conceded.

However, Flynn said the Scottish Government had made “huge investment” in a bid to transform the fleet for the publicly owned operator, which runs ferry services across the Western Isles.
