Fort William Marina and Shoreline Company (FWMSC) welcomed the SH Diana on her maiden visit to Fort William last week.
The official welcome was carried out by Community Councillor, Mark Linfield, Chair of Fort William, Inverlochy and Torlundy Community Council who, on behalf of The Highland Council, presented Captain Zekan with a plaque made from slate to commemorate the occasion.
This gesture was reciprocated by the Captain who in turn presented Mark with a blue SH Diana plaque.
Sarah Kennedy (FWMSC) then presented the Captain with a hand written welcome card, two candles made with beeswax from her own bees, a bottle of Ben Nevis whisky and some delicious shortbread and a whisky cake kindly donated by Nevis Bakery which he was rather delighted with.
SH Diana was the last cruise ship visit of the season so the volunteers are taking a well earned rest over the winter before the 21 cruise ships that are scheduled to come to Fort William in 2027 start arriving.
