The Making of MacBrayne: A Scottish Transport Monopoly Spanning Three Centuries

So the author describes how as a child, he became fascinated by David MacBrayne Ltd. Many decades later, Andrew decided to explore that history in "greater depth". This book is the result, a weighty tome of 2.36kg. It chronicles the operational and business history of the transport company founded in 1879 by David MacBrayne, which in its latest incarnation is CalMac Ferries Ltd. The recent declassification of archives, together with the digitisation of ships' logs and old newspapers, is a treasure trove of information to delve deeper and deeper into, including David MacBrayne's hand-written correspondence from the 1880s.
