Taken
on a cruise in 2003, this shows how the weather on the Clyde can
change minute by minute.
Obviously not a good thing if all you want is sunshine, but if you want to see the Clyde at its best, sunshine is good... but it is not so dramatic! |
One
of the Clyde's truly unspoilt locations, Lochranza on the west of
the Isle of Arran gives you peace, beauty and this ancient ruin
to gaze upon (the castle - not the boat!)
Both WAVERLEY and THE SECOND SNARK call at Lochranza, and if you are on the Mull of Kintyre, you can catch the ferry from Cloanaig to get you there. |
 WAVERLEY Leaving Lochranza |
 It Could be 1904! |
| The paddle steamer
powering away from Lochranza on a lovely summer's day in 2003 The pier has newly re-opened and is proving a magnet for day trippers on the steamer, re-discovering what previous generations knew. Lochranza is definately one of the most pleasant places to visit and makes a welcome change from the more commercial resorts. |
A scene that
has not changed, probably for even longer than that. Lochranza takes you back in time, when villages were sleepy and clean. But that doesn't mean it is in the dark ages. A brand new distillery is amongst its attractions, although a bit of a walk from this point. Worth the walk, to sample one of Scotland's newest whiskies. |
 Roamin' In The Gloamin'... |
 Colour On The Clyde |
| On a warm summer's
day, nothing is more beautiful than the sun going down behind the
Argyll and Cowal hills. This time is called the gloamin' in Scotland, and after a day touring, if you catch one of these summer splendours, you will understand why it was sung about. Perfect! |
There is a certain
beauty, for me at any rate, in the industrial Clyde too. Here the colourful coaster BEN NEVIS sits at the quayside in Rothesay Dock in Clydebank. When the light is right, you can snap the most beautiful colours on the Clyde. |
