Today is #MerchantNavyDay which marks the service of generations of seafarers and is a good reminder to all how much we rely on those who crew vessels from ferries, tankers and cargo ships to Lighthouse Tenders. The Red Ensign is proudly flying from the @NLB_UK HQ in Edinburgh.

And @NLB_UK vessel PHAROS looks ready for Christmas between decks too! Great to catch up with some of the crew - it’s been a busy year so hopefully a peaceful period for all.
Just visited @NLB_UK vessel PHAROS alongside in Leith ahead of @britanniayacht to meet and brief new crew members. Looking great for Christmas.
Working in @NLB_UK Oban for a few days. The weather is cold but beautiful. What a view from the office window!😊
