I got in touch with the webcam operators, and got this reply.
Dear Christopher,

Thank you for your email regarding the webcams on Arran, unfortunately all 4 of our webcams throughout Scotland appear to have been hacked and are no longer working. Our IT dept are looking into this for us however we cannot guarantee that we will be able to reinstate the cameras anytime soon.

I apologize for your disappointment but I’m sure you will appreciate that this was beyond our control.

That sounds like a bit of a vague reply to you there Chriso.

Mind you, hope they manage to get things back up and running sooner rather than later.

The cams must have been extremely popular.

Aye, I see that too chriso.

Mind you, the webcam footage has changed order and the view descriptions are the wrong way round now - but I'd imagine that will be a very simple issue to fix once they notice it.
Good to see these cams back in action. :)

Thanks for keeping us posted Chriso. I had got into the habit of visiting the site first thing every morning, and occasionally thereafter when I knew a boat was due in or out. Delighted to see it back.
Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.

Looks like the link has changed to a live image feed alternating between a few cameras.
