In a sad attempt to trick readers into thinking this has something to do with Scottish-government owned CalMac, the best ferry service in the world based on extensive comparative international research done here, the 11th best ferry correspondent in Greenock suggests that the Highland Council-owned mainland Corran ferry is somehow part of a set of ‘Scottish ferries.’ Like the Herald is a ‘Scottish newspaper?’
Highland Council is not mentioned until the 12th paragraph.
As for the survey sample of 1 000 from communities served by the ferry, including Morvern, no detail is offered. We know it was hand-delivered leaflets which had to be returned. How many and what percentage of the population receiving the leaflet responded? If only 54% of a sample of only one thousand out of many thousands bothered to respond and favoured a tunnel, does it tell us anything meaningful?
This below suggests a very small sample of around 250 indeed:
Finally, did the consultation inform recipients of this?
Since 10 October [2023], Morvern has been hit by 10 earthquakes.

Here’s the question:
In an earthquake, would your rather be on a ferry or in an underground tunnel?
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
The Highland Council website says this
“ The Corran Ferry provides a lifeline connection linking the communities of Fort William, Ardgour, Sunart, Ardnamurchan, Moidart, Morar, Morvern and the Isle of Mull “
But all of these places are on the mainland except the last one the Isla of Mull
So it’s safe to say that it is unlikely that anyone wanting to travel from any of these places ( excluding the Isle of Mull ) does not get a lifeline connection using this ferry because they can alaways travel by road.
Isle of Mull of course being an island I accept May on occasion be able to say this ferry provides a lifeline connection but this is not the only ferry to and from Mull so I find it unlikely .
If you want to live in a remote place then you have to be aware that there will not be a taxi waiting outside to take you to wherever you want to go nor will there be a regular bus service or ferry service or train service , these people need to reconcile their choices with the word remote, it’s remote because it’s not near other people or the services those other people provide.
