The ships are among four being built to the same design
Two new ferries to serve on CalMac's Little Minch routes in the Outer Hebrides have been named.
MV Claymore and MV Lochmor were voted the most popular of the names put forward by CMAL, the ferries procurement body.
The ships are among four being built to the same design and specification at a shipyard in Turkey.
The other two vessels are being constructed for CalMac's Islay service.
They have already been named MV Isle of Islay and MV Loch Indaal.
The Little Minch routes serve communities in Harris and North Uist.
