In 1977 David MacBrayne's last car ferry Morvern took over the Scalpay service. As she was unable to use the original slipways - built for side-loading craft - she ran an auxiliary route between a temporary end-loading ramp beside the original Scalpay slip to another slipway installed at the end of the Old Fishing Pier in Tarbert. The run took about twenty minutes. New end-loading slipways were meanwhile built atop the old jetties.
