  Caledonian MacBrayne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caledonian MacBrayne (usually shortened to Cal-Mac) is the major operator of passenger and vehicle ferries between the mainland of Scotland and all major islands on Scotland's West coast.
It remained in the hands of the MacBrayne family until it was nationalised in 1948, and thenceforth operated under the supervision of a variety of government departments (including, at one point, British Rail).
In 1990 the ferry business was spun off as a separate company (under the traditional Caledonian MacBrayne brand), and shares were issued in the company as a privately held corporation.

Caledonian MacBrayne recognises the importance of the Mod and its youngest competitors and it is only right and proper that we do what we can to enable the youngest competitors to reach these venues as many of them will be our customers of the future.
The MacBrayne name has been synonymous with the West Coast of Scotland for over 150 years and has always recognised the importance of the Gaelic language and culture within the communities it serves.
It is therefore highly appropriate that Caledonian MacBrayne should support the Mod in both these locations, given their significance to the Gaels and to Caledonian MacBrayne".
