Tourists 'were forced to sleep in cars' after a ferry broke down on the Outer Hebrides route last week.
The 19-year-old car ferry MV Loch Portain broke down on Friday afternoon, leaving services on the route between Leverburgh on Harris and the island of Berneray - an important link in the Hebrides chain - cancelled throughout the weekend.
CalMac has said a smaller ferry is expected to be brought in today to take up the slack as the MV Loch Portain remains out of action.
