Scrabster

Pentland comes to 202 pounds, which is about $265.

Northlink from Scrabster comes to 262 pounds, or about $345.

You are paying roughly an $80 premium to cross the exact same stretch of water, just arriving at a different port.

Both of those fare tables are pretty straightforward.

Geography matters here.

It really does.

Stromness is where the Scrabster ferry lands, and it puts you about 20 minutes from the major stone circles.

Kirkwall is the main town.

We have to get up at 4.45 in the morning to load the sheep.

We catch the early morning ferry across the Pentland Firth to Scrabster.

And we then have to drive them over 100 miles to an abattoir that Munro is in Dingwall that is excellent.

But the journey is enormously expensive.

So thank you, Ryan, and your incredible crew.

The last few weeks I've been wild sea swimming every day here at Scrabster Beach.

And let me say, the feeling you get is quite unbelievable.

So today I want to share the incredible mental and physical benefits of spending time in the sea, how to do it safely for our own health, and how to respect the wildlife whose patch we are actually entering into.

In 2027 you'll expect to see us announcing some of our tier one partnerships and we're actively engaged in the market and actually all of the packages just now you mentioned.

We've also made a few announcements about those, so for example reaffirming the commitment to using Scrabster's low in mHub.

We've also been working with subsea micropiles for many years and have now formalized that.

So there'll be plenty more supply chain announcements to come and it's really now about looking on to delivery of the project going forward.
