For a number of years, Scotland has had no passenger ferry service to mainland Europe.  The closest route that anyone north of the border can take is via Newcastle - or drive another couple of hours to Hull.

With air travel services strained and becoming much more expensive, not to mention the environmental impact and driving or rail to Europe being a long and arduous journey for most families, it is important that Scotland has it's own service that will bring significant economic uplift to our country.

With Rosyth already able to handle ferry services, we also have an opportunity to bring in a climate-friendlier service.   Rosyth is located not far from Edinburgh and Glasgow. These are cities with populations of 650,000 and nearly 2 million respectively.

The tourism impact to Scotland would be worth the investment and will bring jobs and income.

It's 2023 - it's already many years late.  Let's get this on the agenda again!
