Tourists 'forced to sleep in cars' and 'struggled to get food' after Scots ferry breakdown

Tourists 'were forced to sleep in cars' after a ferry broke down on the Outer Hebrides route last week.

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.
