Photo ID Cards
Just read an article in the Sunday Herald regarding passengers who were refused travel from Scrabster (Scotland) to Orkney (Scotland) on a Northlink Ferry as they could provide no photo ID.
This was introduced after "significant publicity" - although living in the central belt - I had never seen it. The purpose of this is "to ensure the safety and security of all our passengers, crew and vessels."
I have no idea if this applies to any other ferry routes and that most of the travellers on this site probably do carry ID - but your passenger may be a 35 year old mother with no photo card driving licence, student card, passport etc for whatever reason and so could be refused travel from one part of Scotland to another part.
Check the web sites - I have no idea what a photo ID card proves other than
it shows that I look like myself. By the way I'm this is not a web purchase -
the people buying the tickets were standing at the ticket desk.
