Holy Loch

She then crossed to Holy Loch, Scotland arriving 3 March 1961. There for the next two years she completed 38 refits of Fleet Ballistic Missile submarines, for which she received the Navy Unit Commendation.

HEBRIDEAN PRINCESS
HM The Queen has chartered the tiny cruise ship, HEBRIDEAN PRINCESS for two weeks, forcing the cancellation of bookings made by other passengers.
The Queen has spent 300,000 GBP for a fortnight's sailings starting in late July 2010
apparently sixty passengers who had booked for this period have been offered alternatives.
All Leisure Group, who now owns the vessel, said that they could not divulge who the charter is for.
The HEBRIDEAN PRINCESS is a familiar sight in Scottish coastal waters, and was once a MacBrayne's car ferry, before being converted for her current role.
