The Royal Family uses Islay for setting off on a holiday cruise around the Western Isles. They left Port Ellen today and are guided by a Royal Navy frigate. Young and old on Islay waved the Queen, Prince Philip and other Royal Family members goodbye wishing them a wonderful cruise. They paid £125,000 to hire the Hebridean Princess for a week. The Hebridian Princess was once a Caledonian MacBrayne ferry and is now owned by the company Hebridian and normally sails from Oban to the Scottish Isles or Norway.
