A SCOTTISH seafarer has been recognised for keeping island communities connected after more than three decades working for CalMac ferries.
Captain Iain MacKenzie has served the company for 32 years and today will receive the prestigious Merchant Navy Medal for Meritorious Service — the 20th anniversary of the award.
The 60-year-old captain, from Skye, is master of the mv Loch Nevis and responsible for crucial lifeline services to remote communities. His work has helped the islands stay connected and ensured goods have been delivered around the various communities.
He has also served as a volunteer with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI ) for more than 25 years.
