The Waverley Paddle Steamer, the only surviving paddle steamer in the world has now finished it summer sailing on the Firth of Clyde, with the exception of 2 days in October, when its full season finishes. Its now on its way to Portsmouth for a few weeks after the final sail yesterday.
Yesterday's sail was supposed to be from Glasgow sailing around the Ailsa Craig of the Ayrshire coast but due to bad weather, this was cancelled and the Waverley sailed an alternative route around Bute, Cumbrae and Loch Striven.
I had been on the Waverley the last 2 Saturdays at the games in Rothesay and in Cowal, on both these occassions there were quite a number of kilts to be seen on board.
So on its last sail yesterday, I used it as an excuse to be kilted again, for the third day in a row and I think when you start wearing the kilt so often as I have done over the last few summer months you tend to feel that you want to wear it all the time.
Normally I don't take photos but on Saturday I bought a new camera so if someone can give me an idiot's guide to getting these photos on this site, I will attempt to do so.
