As cars lined up in the ferry terminal car park, protestors gathered in silence behind a banner. It read: Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy
(Singing)
And as the vehicles rolled on to the boat the group of around a dozen joined in singing a psalm, and in prayer
(Man speaking)
There are many throughout these islands who still hold thy day holy
They see Sunday sailings as a breach of Gods commandments. But the ferry company, Caledonian MacBrayne, says it could be accused of breaking equality and human rights laws if it didnt run ferries seven days a week. Campaigners for the service say it will be good for tourism and the development of the island and offer local people freedom to choose when they travel. Passengers boarding the vessel explained why they support the service
(Male passenger speaking)
? People who object to it don’t have to use the ferry service on a Sunday, do they
(Female passenger speaking)
Well I think people have to move with the times, you know
(Crowd cheering)
As the ferry left Stornoway a crowd of several hundred gathered to cheer and clap and wave to those on board. Almost everyone agrees that seven day a week sailings will change Lewis. The question is whether the gains will be worth the loss of a distinctiveness which may now be gone forever
