What happened: The Scottish government is close to finalising a deal to buy Ardrossan Harbour, aiming to upgrade it and restart ferry services to the Isle of Arran.
Why it matters:
- Restoring ferry links will improve transport connections for Isle of Arran residents and visitors.
- Nationalisation could address previous management issues and support local economic recovery.
MNN Take: The government’s move to acquire and upgrade the harbour reflects efforts to resolve longstanding transport challenges and enhance regional infrastructure.
