Episode 7 – A Life At Sea – Calmac Skipper Jay Shibel

Calmac Skipper Jay Shibel Stories From A Scottish Island

Podcast Stories From A Scottish Island iconCaledonian MacBrayne’s Man From Iran To Arran

It’s fair to say that Caledonian MacBrayne, or Calmac as it’s commonly referred to is a huge part of island life. The ferries that dock in Arran from the mainland of Scotland not only bring visitors which has a huge positive economic impact, but also crucial supplies that most people just take for granted. In this episode, I talk with Jay Shibel who originates from far of Iran but has nothing but pride in the job he does helping keep Arran and many other Scottish island connected to the Scottish mainland. His story and thoughts are a wonderful addition to this podcast as we learn about Jay’s life, Calmac and shipping all on-board the Arran ferry.
