More than 100 people had to shelter overnight in a ferry terminal after a music festival was cancelled during severe weather
More than 100 of the 455 passengers on board were left stranded, with no onward public transport options available.
They were offered shelter in the CalMac ferry terminal while port staff arranged for the Royal Hotel Oban to bring duvets and pillows. Robert Morrison, operations director of CalMac, said:"As soon as we were aware of the situation, the CalMac port team in Oban opened up the terminal building and staffed it throughout the night to ensure all those who were in need of shelter were provided with a safe, warm and dry place to spend the night, as no public transport options were available at that time of night."
Mr Morrison estimated between 110 and 120 people needed to stay at the Oban terminal building overnight., which may be using cookies and other technologies.
