“Overseas Sophie” is a regular visitor to the Tay, here seen passing Broughty Castle with Tentsmuir forest in the background.

Tayport is steadily devoured by her bow, attended by the tug “Clutha”

Scotcraig Lighthouse about to disappear.

Attended by 4 tugs in all, she is turned around before berthing at Dundee Port.

MVS Tay members got a chance to take a closer look at her from Marigot after finishing the last passenger trip on Saturday.
