The Steamship Sir Walter Scott

We are away for a few days and staying on a lovely Lodge near Aberfoyle in the Trossachs. On the way we called at the Pier Head on Loch Katrine. We walked along the loch for a while and saw this famous ship at anchor.

The 118 year old Steamship Sir Walter Scott still plies the waters of Loch Katrine to this day. The vessel is powered by it’s original Matthew Paul Triple expansion engine which passengers can view through the open engine covers. Many of the ships original features are still fitted and used every day. It is the very last of it’s kind in regular passenger service in Scotland.
The weather has not been great and the forecast not good but we will have a relaxing time - in the gym and pool.
