Further modern works saw the end of an ancient form of transport on a local stretch of the Clyde.
The Lanarkshire County Council offered for sale the old Lampits ferry at Carstairs, now made redundant by the building of a new bridge over the river. The council emphasised that the old vessel was in good nick and would go to the buyer who had the best public use for it and not necessarily the highest bidder, something which, under current 'Best Value' regulations, would be entirely illegal!

Have you never been on it kitten ? I must admit until last year, I hadn't used it for a good few years
A few pics from 2006.
