You know it!

In the next few days some of Scotland’s most important highland games trophies will be awarded at @cowalgathering – some of them may leave on the first leg of their journey to their new home with Western Ferries. If this applies to you then PLEASE take a selfie with your prize and tell us where it’s travelling to.

As it’s @cowalgathering month we thought we’d take a trip back to 1931 #ThrowbackThursday buff.ly/g3Xc0PR

You never know who you’ll meet when you travel with Western Ferries. Did you know we have a CHAMPION who travels with us regularly? Highland dancer Amelia May Smith was crowned Argyllshire Champion at the recent @cowalgathering winning her papa’s trophy – the D A Martin Memorial Trophy.

These @cowalgathering trophies are starting their journey with Western Ferries and are on their way to MacDuff 🤩

We hope there’s a big mantlepiece in these dancer’s homes! Four more @cowalgathering trophies, starting their journey with Western Ferries and heading off to Lanarkshire.

We asked for photos of your @cowalgathering trophies starting their journeys to their new homes with Western Ferries. Well this one, won by David Gillan in the 7 years and under category is staying in Dunoon. Well done David!

Alyona Stephenson had a great @cowalgathering – she won the 9yrs Scottish National Championships and was the Open Championship runner up! Thanks for sharing your photos with us!

A couple from yesterday's meander over to Argyll and the wee circular walk up and around Pucks Glen There was bright sunshine and torrential rain in equal measures - which only adds to the experience @ArgyllSeaGlass #SoulCaressing #PucksGlen #Argyll #Scotland

Amazing!
