Freedom of information

The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act came into force in January 2005 and gives a statutory right of access to all types of recorded information held by Scottish public authorities. Subject to a number of conditions and exemptions, any person who makes a request to a public authority for information will be entitled to receive it.

All Scottish public authorities are required to adopt and maintain a publication scheme, which sets out what classes of information are held, how they are made available and whether there is a charge for the information.

The David MacBrayne Group of Companies, incorporating David MacBrayne Ltd, David MacBrayne HR (UK) Ltd, Argyll Ferries Ltd, Caledonian MacBrayne Crewing (Guernsey) Ltd have adopted the model publication scheme as developed by the Scottish Information Commissioner and have all created a Guide to Information, based on the model publication scheme. Links to the model publication schemes and the guides to information for all the named companies can be found on this page.

The schemes provide links to information, where applicable or contacts details to obtain the information. If the information wanted is not found in the scheme, a specific request can be made. Requests should be in writing or any recordable form, and submitted either by email to information.act@calmac.co.uk or by post to Records Manager, David MacBrayne Ltd, Ferry Terminal, Gourock, PA19 1QP.
