Waverley
Posted: Thursday, 18 October 2007 |
I was surprised to catch the Waverley leaving Rothesay pier last weekend. I didn't realise it was still running at this time of year, but good on it!
I actually heard it before I saw it!

What a great photo of the colourful Waverley against the greyish background. I went on the Waverley years ago to Rothesay, fascinating to see the engine room and machinery.

Beautiful shot, and gorgeous looking boat. Is it the ferry?

The world's last sea-going paddlesteamer...doon the watter...the best seat on the leeward side of the funnel, leaning against it for warmth...a wee goldie in hand and the sound of fiddle/accordion music....

Yep, it was a grey day indeed. Thanks for the comments. mjc - it's not the ferry, it's an old sea-going paddle steamer that does sightseeing trips now.

Your photo does justice to the boat. The vessel seems to be carrying quite a few sightseers. I assume it's a fair weather boat only, but perhaps I am not doing it justice.
