Paddles Chunkin'

The Waverley en route from Rothesay to Tignabruiach

Paddle steamers were once the predominant mode of boat propulsion across the globe each with a unique key signature best summed up by Kipling in the epic poem 'The Road to Mandalay'

Can't ya hear their paddles chunkin' from Rangoon to Mandalay?

Today on a dreich damp Clyde day you could clearly hear the 'chunkin' all across Rothesay Bay.
