Ardrossan Harbour has been the main port for ferry service to and from the Isle of Arran for decades .

The 30-year-old ferry serving the islands for generations is failing and two new bespoke-designed ones were ordered.

One was delivered seven years late , the other is still being built, and both are too big to fit the main harbour for their daily journeys.

The Scottish government is exploring buying the port, but campaigners feel left in the dark.
