Superseded by larger, drive-through vessels, she was converted to bow-loading and moved to Largs and later to Scalpay where she served until 1983.

MV Coruisk was built in 1969 to provide additional capacity at Kyle of Lochalsh.

Coruisk was converted to bow-loading and began a short crossing from Largs to a new slipway on Great Cumbrae.

This service was successful and by July 1972, she was joined by Kyleakin II (renamed MV Largs and also converted from turntable ferry to bow-loading).

Initially joining a fleet of older, side-loading vessels at Skye, Coruisk was displaced by arrival of the new Lochalsh and Kyleakin in 1971.
